Chapter 507: A Rift Was Created
turned around and left in front of people in a chic manner, but when he entered the backyard, Cui Pu immediately knelt down.
"Lady, I was wrong, I don't dare, I won't dare in the future!" Holding Mu Jiaojiao's legs, he cried a handful of snot and tears, and his repentance couldn't be more sincere.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the man at her feet coldly. "You're also a thorn, and you don't even dare to admit what you said?"
"Lady, I was really wrong!" Although Cui Pu cried, she was careful not to put tears and snot on the corners of her skirt, so she just shouted loudly, "I didn't mean to look down on women, really! I just couldn't think of any other words at the time, so I said casually, I really didn't want to scold women! Lady, don't be angry! I won't dare to do it again!"
"Do you mean that's what you think in your heart?" Mu Jiaojiao said.
"Lady, you are the person I admire the most in my life, isn't it just insulting you when I insult a woman? Can I insult someone who wants to stay with me all my life?"
"But that's what you said. ”
"So I said I was wrong! Didn't I kneel on the washboard now?" said Cui Pu twitching, lifting the hem of her clothes to show her the new washboard under his knees.
Seeing him like this, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh.
When Cui Pu heard it, he immediately smiled. "Lady, you're smiling! That means you're not angry, are you?
"Not true. Mu Jiaojiao immediately straightened her face again.
Cui Pu lowered his head: "Then I'll continue to kneel on the washboard! When you are angry, when you let me get up again." ”
"Then you can kneel first!" Mu Jiaojiao said, turning around and leaving.
The three sisters of red beans, mung beans, and yellow beans hurriedly followed her to the inner room.
Bypassing the screen and waiting for Mu Jiaojiao to sit down, Hongdou couldn't help but speak: "Lady, Lang Jun went out early this morning, rode a horse for most of the day, and now he just came back!"
Mu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"
"Lang Jun must be extremely tired now, but he can still admit his mistakes to you at the first time, which shows that he really knows his mistakes and is willing to correct them. Don't be too fierce to him, just give him a little punishment and let him rest!
"When have you been so tolerant of him?" Mu Jiaojiao couldn't hide the surprise in her heart.
"It's not that the servant is tolerant of him, but the servant thinks that Lang Jun is kneeling outside, and it's not you who is distressed? When the time comes, people will kneel badly, and you have to have your medicine, why bother? What's more, Lang Jun already has a heart for your lady. Even if the sentence he blurted out today is not right, no one is perfect, since he knows that he can change his mistakes, this is already very good, it is much better than some people who have already identified us women as something that cannot be put on the table. ”
Mu Jiaojiao breathed lightly.
"Would you believe me if I said I wasn't going to mess with him at all?"
Hongdou was stunned, and Mu Jiaojiao said again: "But since he came into the door by himself, he brought a washboard, and before I could speak, he knelt down by himself, and then began to cry and scream, so that I couldn't interject." He has put his apology on a sufficient basis, and if I don't give him this opportunity to perform well, it seems that I am sorry for his hard work. So, I'll just let him kneel for a while. ”
Belch......
The corners of the red bean sisters twitched.
"Then, now Lang Jun is ......"
"Let him kneel for a while, and wait for me to have a cup of tea, and then go and wake him up." This time should be about the same!" Mu Jiaojiao said as if talking to herself.
Red Bean nodded hurriedly. "The timing is just right. It's not long or short, Lang Jun won't be too tired, and it just happens to make him feel that you are relieved. It's ......"
She couldn't help but smile again. Poor Lang Jun, obviously he didn't have to kneel today, but he knelt down so actively, admitting that he was called a slippery, so that they didn't have time to stop it. In the back house, do they see fewer similar jokes? Anyway, this Lang Jun in the backyard and Lang Jun in front of him are definitely two completely different people, and they are used to it.
After a cup of tea, Mu Jiaojiao really went to call Cui Pu up. Cui Pu took her finger and swore again, saying that he would never do anything to look down on women again in the future, and coaxed Mu Jiaojiao again and again, until he confirmed that she was not angry, he relaxed his mood, and then hugged her and wailed about his suffering today.
Mu Jiaojiao gently coaxed him in turn and gave him medicine, and the husband and wife were gentle.
The next day, Cui Pu summoned the relevant officials in Liangzhou City to interrogate the criminals in high spirits. Except for Zhan Sima and Liu Zhifu, everyone else came.
The reason why Zhan Sima and Liu Zhifu didn't come was simple - they were sick.
I think so. Yesterday, Cui Pu was slapped in the face in public, if they can still walk around with that face, it is called thick-skinned. So now, they are sick even if they are not sick.
However, without the two of them, Cui Pu is not worried. After all, interrogating prisoners is not what they should do, they just need to sit on the top and put up a stand, and then let the people below move.
In less than half a day, this group of people confessed the facts of their crimes. Most of the more than a dozen truckloads of goods that had been robbed before were recovered, and the caravan's losses were recovered a lot. The leader of the caravan received his goods from the government, and naturally he was grateful to Cui Pu. As for the rest of the people present...... Hehe, he pretended not to see it.
When the others saw this, their faces were not very good-looking.
But Cui Pu just didn't see it. After the trial of this case was easily completed, he filed the matter and ordered someone to send it back to Chang'an Wei's house as soon as possible - that's right, it was Jingzhao Wei's who put pressure on Governor Liu's mansion in the first place. This caravan was under the command of one of Webster's disciples. However, Cui Pu was not afraid of this defeated general at all, so the Liu Governor and his party were still afraid of the princess's clan.
It's just that Cui Pu didn't be happy for too long.
A few days after the case was concluded, he came to Mu Jiaojiao angrily again.
"The one surnamed Zhan and the one surnamed Liu are so shameless! I scolded them in public that day, and now they pretend to be embarrassed and can't afford to be sick, and they are no longer able to handle government affairs! Both of them have no low official positions, and they don't know how many things they handle every day. Now that they are sick, many things have been delayed, and now the Jiedu envoy has sent people over there to ask about the situation, and they have all come to me to drink tea!"
Mu Jiaojiao chuckled. "Didn't you bring it on yourself?"
Those two people are old people in Liangzhou Mansion, and Liangzhou Mansion relies on them to do many things. Now that they're on strike, it's like the two most important parts of a machine are not working, and naturally the whole machine stops working.
"Then they didn't end up being the same, did they ask for it?" Cui Pu snorted coldly, "I want to create the illusion that I am incompetent, so I did such a thing." After being slapped in the face by me, he pretended to be sick and continued to stumble on me, who should be afraid of him?"
"Indeed, you are not afraid of them. Mu Jiaojiao bowed, "So, you've already figured out how to deal with it?"
"Then do you still need to say it?" Cui Pu suddenly came to his senses again, "I have already asked someone to pass the word to Lu Tongju and Huang Changshi, and Cao Tongzhi, who is under the head of the government, knows them." Tonight, I'll have a good conversation with them and have a good drink!"
"Okay, I'll call the kitchen to prepare food and drinks for you. Mu Jiaojiao immediately said.
"Then it's up to you, Mrs. Lao!" Cui Pu hurriedly bowed to her.
On this night, the lights on the Thorn History Mansion were brilliant, and the plans were staggered, and the words and smiles were smiling.
Sima's Mansion and the government were lifeless.
At noon the next day, Lu Tongju knelt down in front of Zhan Sima and said with a sincere face: "Zhan Sima, you must believe in the loyalty of the lower officials! Yesterday, Cui Tingshi called the lower officials to drink, and also said that he would let the lower officials temporarily take your place, and the lower officials agreed. But the reason why the lower officials agreed to come down is actually for your consideration! These things are much better in the hands of the lower officials than in the hands of outsiders, aren't they? The lower officials' loyalty to you has never changed, and I came here today to tell you that as long as the assassin Shi ordered the matter, the lower officials will first come to ask for your opinions before making a decision, and the lower officials will never dare to make a decision alone! When you come back from your illness, the lower officials will definitely return everything to you intact. ”
Zhan Sima looked calm. "You and I have been colleagues for many years, so I naturally believe in you. ”
Lu Tong was so excited when he was sentenced to the throne: "The lower official knows that Zhan Sima, you won't disbelieve the lower official! With your words, the lower official will rest assured!"
After saying that, he stood up: "Since this is the case, then the lower official will go to do things first." If there is anything on the assassin's side, the lower officials will report it as soon as possible. ”
Zhan Sima nodded and personally escorted him out of his courtyard.
And after the others left, Zhan Sima's face was like a shadow, and it was extremely dark and terrifying.
Slowly pacing back, he pushed open the door, but saw that Liu Zhifu had been sitting in it for some time.
Lu Tong's sentence was almost exactly the same as what Cao Tongzhi said when he ran to me early this morning. is so humble and pious, so low that people can't bear to doubt them. Governor Liu said, "It's just, do you think these two people are still credible now?"
"What happened in the Assassin's Mansion last night, only God knows what they know. Now that they've said that, what can we do but believe it?" said Zhan Sima, chuckling.
"Then, let's just let them take away the rights we have?" "A trace of anxiety appeared on Governor Liu's face, "Then you say, will they give us back the things as they say?"
"At first, they may not dare to move. But once they taste a higher level of power, I'm afraid they won't be willing to let go. Zhan Sima said in a low voice, "And this Cui Tingshi should also be out of this consideration." ”
This is exactly what Governor Liu is most worried about.
"Then what should we do? Could it be that he will slowly isolate us like this?"
Zhan Sima glanced at him. "What, in a hurry?"
Governor Liu hurriedly bowed his head. "Xiaguan is not in a hurry. ”
"You don't have to be so insincere and perfunctory, in fact, I'm quite anxious. Zhan Sima said lightly.
Governor Liu sighed in his heart!
Even he is in a hurry, does that mean that he has no choice?
At this time, he listened to Zhan Sima say slowly: "Count the days, we have been sick for a few days." It's not a serious illness in the first place, but after a few days, it should be about the same, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes, Xia Guan thinks so too. In fact, today, Xia Guan felt that Xia Guan's spirit was already very good!" Liu Zhifu nodded quickly.
So, three days later, the two legendary people who were 'so sick that they could barely get up' went out to see people in high spirits.
The two of them also came to Cui Pu to admit their mistakes. Frank and generous, as if they were not the people who were slapped in the face on the spot that day.
"So that's all they have to do, I think they want to fight me to the end!" Cui Pu didn't get angry when he found out, he just pouted in displeasure, "It's really boring, I thought I could slap them in the face again!"
"It's as if you didn't fight this time. Mu Jiaojiao said coolly.
Cui Pu smiled again.
"Now, we should be able to relax a little bit and do our own thing. Incidentally...... Check out the show. ”
After all, the rights that had just fallen into their hands were taken back by someone before they could enjoy it for a few days, and those two people should be very unwilling, right?
Rifts have been created in this seemingly united ranks.
