Chapter 13: Questioning

The old scholar He Zhu drove the waterwheel from the side of the canal, and the wheels rolled around, rolling out two rut marks on the ground.

Young Master He Fu was pruning the branches and leaves in the flower bed, and when the waterwheel came closer, he beckoned, "Bamboo, put the pipe over." ”

He Zhu threw over a pipe sewn into a fish intestine, and after He Fu's fingers buckled the opening of the pipe, he stretched out his palm and pressed the waterwheel, the mana spit out, and the water poured into the fish intestine tube, and immediately sprayed out half a circle of water curtains.

He Fu poured the water jar one by one, and He Zhu pushed the waterwheel to follow, and when he was halfway through the watering, he suddenly said: "Young master, I still don't let you go to the sea, it's been almost three months since I came." ”

He Fu nodded and said, "Pavilion Master Gu is cautious, right." ”

He Zhu sighed: "But the trick-making eggs and flying chickens he said have never shown up, and he also said that there may be people in this world who are staring at us with stars in the sky, and I haven't seen half a shadow so far." ”

He Fu raised the pipe and poured the dead corner in the distance, and said, "It's all possible...... Patience, this forgets the pain of Dongsheng Shenzhou?"

"No...... All right...... By the way, young master, I heard that I will be staying in this sea for a long time......"

"Yes!" said He Fu, watering the flowers and plants.

"I heard that it will be stopped for more than half a year......" He Zhu sat on the roof of the waterwheel, leaning his cheeks.

"Okay. ”

"By the way, young master, I brought back the spirit stones issued by the Huaixian Pavilion, you are the foundation building, five pieces, and I am two ......"

"Okay...... What? It's gone up again?" He Fu was a little surprised, and finally looked back at He Zhu.

He Zhu said: "I heard Elder Zhao of the Huaixian Pavilion say that two more wells have been dug into the spirit stone vein, and now the output of spirit stones has reached 39,000 pieces per month. The meaning of the Gu Pavilion Master is to let everyone improve their cultivation as soon as possible, so as not to encounter a strong enemy and have no power to fight back. ”

He Fu was worried: "Will it destroy the ore vein? It has already opened eighteen wells, and there are only two ore holes." ”

He Zhu said with a smile: "Now everyone up and down is counting on returning to Dongsheng Divine Continent, as long as they can stand firm when they go back, where do they care about any spirit stone veins." ”

He Fu shook his head and said, "I think this side is good, Dongsheng Shenzhou is too dangerous......"

"Young master, young master, the pipe is off track......"

"Huh?"

He Fu hurriedly put down the nozzle, but it was already too late, and the water sprayed into an open window on the first floor of Building No. 3 next to the flower bed, and a scream immediately came from the window: "Who is so lacking in virtue! Our family has been painting for three days!"

Immediately afterwards, a head came out through the iron railing of the windowsill, and roared at the master and servant of He Fu, it was the little yellow door fish Chaoen.

Yu Chaoen scolded a few words, rushed out again, and grabbed He Fu: "This is the painting homework that Han She people have arranged for our family, and now it is wet by you, how can our family deal with it?"

He Zhu immediately rushed over: "Let go of my young master......"

On the terraces of each household on each floor of Building No. 3, countless heads suddenly poured out, staring at the tearing farce in front of the flower beds with wide eyes. After a while, Li Fuguo took Qian Niuwei to take away the three people who were torn, and there was a sigh on the terraces everywhere.

Fang Xuan looked at the nine-story terrace for a long time, and when the perpetrator was taken away by Qianniuwei, he smiled and smacked his mouth, returned to the house, thought for a moment, walked to the case, spread out the pen and ink, and wrote: "In September of the seventh year of Zhide, there is a gardener He Fu, so the son of the secretary and supervisor He Jizhen......"

After describing what he saw, he reread it several times, revised a few words, and cut it down and put it away. As soon as he finished writing, an attendant came downstairs, raised his head and preached loudly: "Please Shangshu Ling Gao Gong, Zhongshu Ling Yang Xiang, Fang Shizhong, Yuan Pingzhang, and General Li enter the palace and participate in the great politics together!"

Fang Xuan was stunned, rushed to the terrace in a few steps, confirmed with a probe, shouted "go immediately", hurriedly changed into his official uniform, slammed the door and went downstairs, and went to the palace in anticipation of countless people.

Not long after, people have arrived, first go to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has a solemn face, said that there are two parties in the garden community to fight, this place belongs to the court in charge, please come to the royal front to ask the case.

After receiving the decree, he came to a side hall next to him, and Yang Guozhong was in high spirits: "This is Your Majesty's trust, and we must deal with it properly today, so as to ensure that the truth is clear, fair and honest, and live up to the emperor's grace and the trust of the Taishi." ”

They all nodded yes, sat down each of them, and ordered them to be brought up. First Yu Chaoen, then He Fu, the two stated the reason for the tearing and fighting.

Yu Chaoen hoped that He Fu would make amends in public, and explain to his teacher Han Yun the reason why the painting was destroyed, and at the same time compensate a spirit stone.

He Fu said that this is an unintentional mistake, it is okay to admit mistakes, and there is no problem in helping to explain, but it is not okay to compensate for the spirit stone, he is willing to copy a picture of the same five cows to pay Yu Chaoen, and declare that the painting he compensated for must be a hundred times stronger than Yu Chaoen!

After speaking, the two went to the side to wait, and the Gu Ming met to discuss.

Gao Lishi first said: "Yu Chaoen is my righteous son, and our family should avoid suspicion in this case." ”

Li Fuguo persuaded: "The general is righteous and the whole world knows it, why avoid suspicion, if someone frames it with this, it has to be said that the general is biased, and even makes profits from it, the Son of Heaven does not agree!"

The rest of the people also nodded: "Yes, yes!"

Yang Guozhong asked Fang Xuan and Yuan Zai: "In the opinion of the two of them, what are the twists and turns of this case?"

Yuan Zai said: "Yu Chaoen said, what was spilled was the homework assigned by Han Rong, when did he worship Han Rong to learn painting? This matter needs to be confirmed, I will, recruit Han Rong to come for questioning, if there is a witness, it should also be recruited." ”

Fang Xuan said: "He Fu is the son of the late secretary and supervisor He Zhizhang, although we all know about it, but after all, there must be testimony and evidence, I think that He Fu should be asked to show his credentials to prove that he is indeed the son of He secretary." ”

Li Fuguo said: "A palace attendant, the son of a lord, and the community garden is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, this case is not small, and the matter is big, so we can't be arbitrary." ”

Gao Lishi nodded: "This matter must be reported to the Taishi!"

Yang Guozhong said: "Your meaning is known in your true sense...... Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial Historical Observatory will be tried, and the Ministry of Internal Service and the Ministry of Industry will observe the hearing, and after the case is clarified, we will wait for an opinion and report it to the Taishi and the Son of Heaven for ruling. ”

Everyone said, "It should be so!"

After making a decision, several Gu Ming went to the main hall to reply to the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven, who kept saying that he was going to wait in the palace for the disposition, was gone, and the attendant on duty in the hall took the initiative to say: "The Taishi has just passed the word, and today the sea ban is lifted, Your Majesty has gone to the beach to enjoy it, and Your Majesty also greets the princes, and you can go together after the case is clarified." The shallows just outside the North Exit......"

When several people heard the news, they were overjoyed, and they walked away, and they said: "Go together, go together!"

The chamberlain chased after him and asked, "Princes, how is the case? How should I deal with it......?"

Li Fuguo turned around and waved his hand, and said impatiently: "What can be disposed of or not? Let them see what they can't do." ”
