143.The opening of the Yamen (4/5)
Wang Qilin opened his eyes.
The passage was empty and dark.
The darkness in which no light shines in, is utterly black.
The fox fairy is gone.
The mourning bird in his arms was gone.
The entrance of the passage that it had closed with a spell was completely opened, and Wang Qilin went out and raised the torch, and saw Eight Meow squatting at the door of the stone chamber with his plane ears folded.
It shoved its head into the corner of the doorway, clasped its hands and wrapped its long tail around it, shivering.
Wang Qilin picked it up and asked, "What's wrong with Eight Meows?"
Eight Meow hurriedly climbed on top of him, and suddenly jumped out again after climbing up, and then glared at him angrily.
Wang Qilin was inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
Eight Meow snorted and sneezed, and continued to puff out: "Meow!"
Wang Qilin understood, he raised his sleeve and sniffed it and said, "There is no smell, what do you smell?" Behave, go back to Dad's arms, we are going home, Dad went home and hugged Bameow to sleep. ”
Yameow tilted her head and thought about it, and quickly climbed up and got into his arms.
Soon it drilled out again, and its fat face was so angry that it had a piece of bird droppings on its hair!
Wang Qilin had no choice but to coax it to wash it off, and he was also nauseous for a while, so he quickly took off his clothes.
He was still a little depressed, originally he wanted to make sure that the Li family raised the fox fairy and then did it, but now that the fox fairy is gone, the evidence is gone, he can only run away.
With so many things happening at night, it was already early in the morning when he went to sleep, so he couldn't get up at one o'clock in the morning.
Then he was woken up by the roar of the outer door.
This was Xu Da's voice, and he pushed open the window in a daze and shouted, "Old Xu, are you constipated again?"
Xu Qi, who was wielding the mace vigorously, exploded: "Seventh master, are you sleeping? Uncle, I get up early to practice martial arts, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the uncle is working hard in martial arts, in order to serve the court and protect the people!"
Wang Qilin moved the eight meows hanging from his neck and said, "Are you sleepy, aren't you?" When will you ......?"
"Hey, Erlang Danshan!" Xu Da interrupted him and roared, his mace whirring and majestic.
A delicate and lovely girl walked in a step, her gait was extremely beautiful, she really folded her waist with a slight step, and her wrist was in the light yarn-
It was the dancing girl he just got last night.
Mu Xi has excellent dancing skills, so he walks gracefully and pleasing to the eye.
She walked up and handed Xu Da a teacup, and said softly: "Uncle, you have been practicing for so long, drink saliva and rest." Ah, Lord Wang, are you up too? Later, I'll prepare mouthwash for you. ”
Xu Da grinned, he stopped Mu Xi and said, "You prepare a fart for him, ah no, you don't have to prepare for him, our seventh master doesn't rinse his mouth." You go and rest, you are busy in the morning, alas, I am really distressed to see it. ”
Wang Qilin asked: "Are you distressed again? Go to the county hospital to find a famous doctor to see your heart, I think your heart must be almost broken." ”
Xu Da went up and closed the window for him, and said, "Seventh Master, you can sleep again." ”
Mu Xi covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled, this action was a bit hypocritical, but it was extremely natural for her to perform it.
Xu Da was stunned, and Wang Qilin said: "Wipe your saliva, uncle, not only are you almost sick in your heart, but you are also almost in your head, dementia?"
Rarely, Xu Da didn't quarrel with him, but looked at Mu Xi's back in a daze.
Wang Qilin put on his official robe and walked out and said, "Don't look at it, your eyes are on other people's bodies." ”
Xu Da muttered: "Its shape is also like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon." Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, and when you are forced to observe it, it is like a hibiscus rising waves...... Seventh Master, don't believe it, last night I dreamed that the moon was old, and he wrapped a thread around me. ”
Wang Qilin said: "What's the matter, I want to knit a sweater for you?"
"Get out. ”
Mu Xi didn't take himself seriously, and after coming to the post house, he behaved steadfastly, and went to help Qiao Niang go to the kitchen early in the morning.
Qiao Niang was reluctant to let her work, and Mu Xi said nonchalantly: "Eldest sister, don't think that I am the life of the young lady." In fact, before I was sold into Qingqiu Mansion, I had to do everything at home, tidying up the yard, collecting pigweed, herding cattle and sheep, and planting seedlings in the fields. ”
When breakfast was served, Qiao Niang secretly said to Wang Qilin: "Mu Xi is a good girl, it's time for my father and mother to hold her grandson." ”
Holding his big bowl of black beans waiting to be fed, he nodded solemnly.
Xu Da secretly said to him: "If your uncle marries Mu Xi, he will give you younger brothers and sisters, and then the black beans will no longer be our little treasures, and the black beans will go to hunt pigweed, herd cattle and farm, and have to give the younger brothers and sisters delicious food, and have to give the younger brothers and sisters fun things." ”
Black Bean chuckled in his heart: "It's over, what should I do?"
Xu Da touched his braids and said, "Just let your uncle marry Mu Xi, let your uncle marry her." ”
Black Bean asked weakly: "Then if you marry her, won't you also give me younger brothers and sisters?"
Xu Da gasped, why is the rabbit cub so clever today?
Facing the suspicious gaze of the black bean fox, he was ruthless and gritted his teeth: "No, the uncle is infertile, and he can't have children!"
Wang Qilin kicked him when he heard his words, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't show off your careful thoughts, eat." ”
After eating, he had something to do, and he had to supervise Li Ying to open the court to try Li Mao's case.
Normally, the yamen is open in the afternoon to handle cases, but it is about Li Mao, and the Li family can't wait for the afternoon.
It just so happens that the people are used to going to the public court in the afternoon to watch the excitement, and there are few people in the morning, which is convenient for dark box operation.
But Xu Da shattered the illusions of the Li family, he found a few splashes and shouted on the street, 'The county government has distributed rice', and then the yamen was full of people.
Wang Qilin stood at the front of the crowd, leaning against the door and looking at the court.
Li Ying's face was relaxed, he first sentenced two theft cases with ease, and then Li Mao was escorted to the court.
The main topic begins.
Seeing Li Mao appear in the court, some people secretly clapped their hands and applauded, but some people said: "It's just a formality, it's not like this before." ”
"That is, you expect your father to condemn his son?"
The old lady of the Zhu family walked out of the side room on the other side of the public hall, and it was not the official who escorted her, but the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.
Wang Qilin's heart sank.
One hundred secrets, he made a mistake!
He just wanted to arrest Li Mao and uphold justice, but he ignored one thing: only when the evidence is conclusive can Li Mao be convicted!
In this regard, the Li Mansion is about to be familiar with the road, and they deeply understand a truth: In order to solve a case, it is not necessary to solve the case, but also to solve the informant.
Obviously, they found the Zhu family in advance, and I am afraid that they have already dealt with the Zhu family mother and son.
This made him a little uneasy for a while.
After all, he is too young, and he is just a rookie in officialdom, so he can make such a low-level mistake.
Sure enough, seeing the Zhu lady appear, Li Maomei smiled and bowed to her, and the Zhu lady also politely replied.
Wang Qilin couldn't help but shout: "Mother-in-law of the Zhu family ......"
The old lady of the Zhu family immediately looked back at him, while Li Ying angrily patted Tang Mu and shouted, "Who in the hall dares to disturb the court?"
Xiao 14 pushed Wang Qilin back into the crowd and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, don't make it difficult for the brothers. ”
Wang Qilin nodded silently, he could only comfort himself that he had done his best to this matter, and he was worthy of his heart.
Many things are like this, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.
God may not always be on the side of justice.
