Chapter 405: Still Too Young
It wasn't until the guests dispersed and Niu Xianlin came over that Mu Jiaojiao retreated to the backyard to avoid suspicion.
So she knew exactly what was going on in front of her.
When she saw Cui Pu coming over dejectedly, she hurriedly welcomed the person to sit down on the couch, gave him a wide coat with her own hands, took off her boots and soaked her feet to relieve fatigue.
Being treated so gently by her, Cui Pu's mood can be regarded as better.
"This time, these people are fully prepared. Niu Xianlin also pulled out so many people, in the name of jury, but in fact, he wanted to deliberately make a big noise, so as to bring us all down in a grand manner. Their ambitions are so great that they want to uproot us on our turf!"
He knew the plans of this group, but he couldn't do anything else now. Niu Xianlin now only focuses on Cao Shu, the prisoner, and doesn't care about anything else. As for how the convict escaped, how he was taken in for so many years, and even now that he is about to get married, this must be kept behind and interrogated slowly, and the relevant personnel will be brought out little by little.
A blunt knife cuts meat, which is the most painful and abrasive.
That's what they want.
This is where their most vicious method lies!
Mu Jiaojiao just brought him a cup of tea: "Drink it!"
Cui Pu took a big bite when he brought it to his mouth.
"Poof!"
He squirted, his face crumpled. "What is this? Why is it so bitter!"
"Herbal tea, I made it with my own hands, the most is to clear away heat and relieve heat, which is excellent for the human body. Mu Jiaojiao said, "Now, I plan to make this drink standard throughout the whole house." ”
Cui Pu blinked: "The whole house?"
"Yes!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
Cui Pu cautiously took another sip. Although he was mentally prepared, the moment the tea was entered, he still couldn't bear to close his eyes.
It's bitter, it's so bitter!
"However, if you taste it carefully, it seems that the taste is also a little sweet, and it is okay. "He talks nonsense with his eyes closed.
"Since it's good for your health, let's let everyone drink it!" nodded again, and settled the matter.
Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright.
In the next few days, this is the drink of Niu Xianlin and his party.
That's right, this is their revenge!
Since they can all come to Cao Shu's door on Cao Shu's happy day to disgust them, why can't they retaliate a little bit?
But it was said that Niu Xianlin and the three of them sat down and were about to discuss a serious matter, but when the tea was entered, the three of them sprayed it together.
"What is this?" Chen Junbi asked first.
"Back to Chen Xianzun, this is herbal tea, and our wife specially ordered someone to boil it. There are a lot of herbs that can clear the heat in the human body, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, quenching thirst, dispelling fire and dehumidifying, etc., and it is excellent for the body to drink all year round, and it can also play a role in preventing diseases.
"Who needs to prevent disease? You quickly changed to other teas. Chen Junbi immediately commanded loudly.
The little maid looked embarrassed: "The prefect and his wife, together with the little lady in the house, use this tea!"
How can Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao be compared with Niu Dethroned? Your family loves to harm themselves, don't think that everyone else is like you!
Chen Junbi was about to speak aggressively again. But before the words could be said this time, Niu Xianlin smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then let's drink this! Mrs. Cui Zhifu has excellent medical skills, and the tea she prepared must be the best." ”
Chen Junbi immediately raised a smile on his face: "Niu Dethroned Envoy is right! Although this tea tasted bitter at first, it can be eaten with Niu Dethroned Envoy, and Xia Guan suddenly felt a lot sweeter!"
When the people who were serving around heard this, their faces turned disgusted. Only Chen Junbi is still triumphant - his actions are indeed very explicit, but so what? With such a tea entrance, Niu Dewan must be unhappy in his heart, but because of his identity, he can't complain, so he can only use other people's mouths to convey the thoughts in his heart. He is unhappy with helping him now, and he must be happy in his heart. And as long as he can make Niu Depose happy, he cares about other people's attitudes!
Now these people just have to despise him! When he rises to fame in the future, they will not be able to prostrate themselves at their feet and cry for help?
Look, although Niu Xianlin said this, he didn't touch the herbal tea again.
After dismissing all the idle people, Dai Ziang finally shook his head and smiled: "Our Yangzhou prefect is really a child's heart, and the lower officials can't understand him." ”
"Yes, he's young after all!" Niu Xianlin said with a smile.
All three laughed.
Cui Pu's actions, in the eyes of those who are many older than him, are not just a way for children to express their dissatisfaction when they have been wronged? Just a bowl of tea, how much harm can it cause to others? It is also those ignorant children who think they can take this opportunity to vent their anger.
After all, he is still too young, and there is no guidance from Cui Ge Lao, so he can do whatever he wants now. Now that he knows that he is at a disadvantage, he has no other way, so he simply deals with them like this, which is really difficult not to laugh!
The next day, the envoy of the Yuan Festival rushed to Yangzhou City.
Cui Pu still entertained him with bitter herbal tea. Fortunately, the Yuan Jiedu envoy fought in the south and the north, and he had never eaten anything strange and strange? When the herbal tea was entered, he swallowed it without changing his face, and then praised it loudly: "Good tea! Is there any more, bring me another bowl!"
When Niu Xianlin and his party heard about it, they laughed again.
"This official understands why the two of them are so close to each other, and their emotional tastes are the same!" Niu Xianlin said in a loud voice.
In front of people, he always looks amiable but not good at words. But behind closed doors, this person has to comment on whatever he encounters, which seems to reflect his foresight.
Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi knew that this was a sign that he would not meet them, and hurriedly laughed at Yuan Jiedu for a few words, and Cui Pu was naturally no exception.
Two days later, the government finally opened a court to try Cao Shu's evasion of raiding his house.
After three days in prison, Cao Shu felt a lot haggard. Although he was still wearing the wedding dress on the day of marriage, his little face was pitifully thin and his hair was messy, which looked particularly pitiful.
Niu Xianlin sat on the top position, on the left hand side was the festival envoy and Dai Ziang, and on the right hand side was Cui Pu. Chen Junbi's status was too lowly to attend, so he could only stand behind.
Niu Xianlin was shocked: "Cao's thirteenth mother, now your great-grandmother has accused you of smuggling and disobedience in the Criminal Department, can you plead guilty?"
Even if the little girl is guilty, she can only be charged with hiding her great-grandmother. However, all the relatives around the little girl are gone, and only the elderly great-grandmother reunites with the little girl in a different place two years later, how can the little girl be willing to send her to the official mansion? If she does, the little girl will rarely commit the crime of disobedience. In addition, the great-grandmother is still sick, and the little girl is even more reluctant!" Although Cao Shu was timid, her speech was clear and unyielding.
In this era, no matter what the elders do wrong, the juniors can't blame even if they know, otherwise they will be disobedient and guilty. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the government, the elder who makes the mistake will be punished, and the junior who sues the elder will be punished more severely than the elder. Even afterwards, he will be spurned by everyone, just because of two words - unfilial piety!
And if the elders sue the juniors, it doesn't matter. If the lawsuit is correct, it means that the exposure is meritorious, the juniors will be punished, and the elders will be rewarded, and if the lawsuit is wrong, it will not matter. is just a junior, does he dare to be angry with his elders?
Parents who are all over the world, and I don't know who invented this statement, which can be said to have harmed many people.
However, Cao Shu said this now, but it provided a sufficient reason for herself not to give Mrs. Cao out. Even if the government blames her, it is to force her to commit the crime of disobedience, Niu Xianlin is not so stupid.
However, he had already guessed that Cao Shu would say this, and Niu Xianlin immediately slapped a surprise again: "You don't care about him, now let's take a good look at this matter." First of all, you are a criminal officer who escaped from the Cao family, do you admit this?"
"The little girl doesn't recognize it!" Cao Shu said categorically.
"You don't recognize it?" Niu Xianlin raised his eyebrows.
"The little girl has already had a marriage contract with the Qiu family, and that is the Qiu family. At the beginning, the Cao family was raided, and the little woman was in Yangzhou, and she was grief-stricken when she learned the news of the change in her family. It's just that I thought that there was only one little girl left in the Cao family now, and it was useless to go back at that time, so it was better to stay in Yangzhou and live. I believe that as long as the little girl lives well, her father and mother will be gratified if they know it. As for the dowry that originally belonged to the little girl...... Since the family is gone, and those things are in vain in grief when they are held in their hands, the little girl simply did not ask for them, but only let them confiscate them to help the poor people in the world, that is, to help their families accumulate virtue, so that they can be reincarnated as soon as possible. ”
After she finished speaking, the corners of Niu Xianlin's mouth flashed with a sneer: "You have a marriage contract with the Qiu family? Why don't others know about this? Do you know that this time I learned that you were still alive, and Xiao Changshi, the head of the Shouwang Mansion, also went to the Criminal Department to file a complaint, saying that you were also guilty of escaping marriage." Now it seems that you are actually a daughter and two families?"
That's a vicious statement. Now, he has given Cao Shu a dilemma - either after admitting that you are a criminal official, or admitting that you have been married to two families alone. If you admit that it is the former, you will involve Cui Pu and his party, and if you admit the latter, it will be against the Shouwang Mansion.
Moreover, one daughter allows two families, which is also a great insult to her reputation. But no one who wants to save face will marry such a discredited daughter. What Cao Shu will face next is definitely the abandonment of the Qiu family! Moreover, the Qiu family is an ordinary family in the mountains and wilderness, do they have the courage to confront the Shouwang Mansion?
This is also the reason why Niu Xianlin was indifferent to Qiu Shan's so-called marriage contract with Cao Shu at the beginning. The bigger the fuss now, the bigger the joke will end up with. If the Qiu family wants to continue to live a good life, then they will definitely try their best to distance themselves from this joke.
Cao Shu is planted this time!
Hearing him say this, Cao Shu's body immediately trembled, and her face turned pale.
"Little Girl......"
"Hmm, what else do you have to say? Just say it, this official listens!" Niu Xianlin smiled happily, his eyes full of viciousness.
Cui Pu watched from the sidelines, and his two fists were also clenched and clucked with anger.
This Niu Xianlin, like his brother Niu Xianke, is a real villain!
In the public court, bullying a weak woman like this is also a loss to him!
He hurriedly took several deep breaths before he could continue to watch the shameless performance of the group of people in front of him.
Mu Jiaojiao was sitting in the backyard and also heard the words from Mung Bean. She couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips: "These people will also play such little tricks of foxes and fake tigers." Let's watch, when this tiger skin is uncovered, what else do they have to be arrogant?"
After a pause, she suddenly asked, "By the way, Qiu Shan should be about to appear, right?"
She was right.
Just when Niu Xianlin and his party were pressing on Cao Shu step by step, Qiu Shan appeared with a Geng post in his hand.
"Niu deposed the envoy, there is evidence here to prove that Cao Niangzi had been married to a certain person ten years ago. She was already my Qiu family ten years ago!"
Listening to his loud words, watching this person descend in front of him like a god's mansion, Cao Shu's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but call with tears in his eyes: "Qiu Lang......"
