Concubine Ben Duojiao [Powerful Nation System]

Traveling to Weinan, it was finally time to part ways.

Liu Fang and the others struggled for a long time and finally stopped worrying about the so-called face, and found an opportunity to thank Chen Ajiao: "If it wasn't for the Crown Princess at the Cuihua Mountain Taoist Temple that night, I'm afraid I will suffer a lot."

It turned out that when they left Cuihuashan Town that day, it was already dusk, and they brought a lot of boxes and cages, which had long been coveted by those who cared about them.After they fell asleep that night, some people entered the contemplation and wanted to rob.But Chen Ajiao woke up with a start, screamed a few times, and woke up Liu Che first.For a moment, there was chaos inside, and even a guard was injured.

Speaking of which, the force value of this rogue is not as good as any of the guards here.But because of carelessness, he was beaten by surprise.At the critical moment, the crown prince and princess concubine both pulled out their daggers and joined in. Only then did they forcefully subdue all the rascals.

The most embarrassing thing was that before going to sleep, the Crown Princess even asked if they wanted to arrange someone to watch the night, but they felt that this place was deserted, and it was a waste of effort to arrange people to guard it.But later, if the Crown Princess didn't wake up early, I'm afraid they would be here before they even arrived in Liang Country.

After this incident, they finally learned how to be good. Not only did they behave a lot more low-key, but they also took shifts every day and night.

"It's just that I didn't fall asleep by chance, and the crown prince is blessed and blessed to save the day." Chen Ajiao would not tell them that she knew something was wrong and stayed awake on purpose.What's the use of fighting for this credit?It's impossible for them to be loyal only to her.Maybe if it gets out, she will arouse people's suspicion.It's better to put it all on Liu Che, it seems that she is virtuous.

When Liu Che came over, he heard this sentence, and he had a smile on his face: "My good luck has long been used up, and I used it to meet Sister Gillian."

These words similar to * fell into Chen Ajiao's ears, and she sneered in her heart: Only ghosts believe it!

Chen Ajiao didn't believe Liu Che's sweet words, but Liu Fang and the others couldn't help but sigh after hearing that, the prince and princess really have a deep relationship!

Liu Fang and the others had already thanked Chen Ajiao and said goodbye to Liu Che. Taking advantage of the early morning, they loaded up the carriage and quietly left the inn with Chen Ajiao and Liu Che.

Liu Fang and his party wanted to leave Weinan and go west, but Liu Che and the others had other plans, so they walked together for a while, and after Liu Che and Gillian got off the carriage, they changed their merchant clothes into civilian clothes, and brought Zhou Bowen Together with Yan Qing, they turned back to Weinan City.The four of them pretended to be brothers and arranged them according to their teeth. They found another inn and bought donkeys and horses. They stayed for about a day before heading east towards Lingbao County.

This time, there were many stories...

----

Today in Lingbao County, there is great joy. The prefect Lu Fan is a fair and honest official, but he has only one daughter in his life, and his love is like a treasure.

Her daughter's beauty is beautiful and her temperament is excellent, and the people of Lingbao County have mentioned it, and no one does not praise her.Today is the day when Lu Ping, the jewel in Na Lufan's palm, gets married.The common people were all grateful for Duke Lu's love and love in Lingbao County for ten years, so they spontaneously went to the prefect's mansion, planning to follow the bride off from afar.

After asking auspiciousness, Nalu Gong's new concubine came forward and offered a glass of wine to the newlyweds, and said: "Respectfully listen to the words of Zong'er's parents. There is no fault in the night, and I will treat you all!"

She was only one year older than Lu Ping, and was taken back by Duke Lu because a Taoist said that she was a suitable child.She is the only woman in the prefect's mansion besides the prefect's wife. Because Lu Ping feels sorry for her mother, she has a lot of quarrels with her on weekdays.Seeing her serve wine now, but she couldn't be rude in public, so I thanked her.After drinking water and wine, Fang got into the carriage with the help of his servant girl.

When the carriage was about to move, suddenly a man broke through the crowd and rushed in front of the bride.Before everyone could react, they saw the man hugging Lu Ping: "A Ping, why are you getting married without waiting for me to come back?"

The young man on the horse heard the noise, turned his head to look, and shouted: "Song Lian, you died the year before last, why... I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, let go of my wife!"

Everyone was in an uproar, Song Lian!Isn't Song Lian the eldest son of Biejia in Lingbao County?Didn't he die under the claws of a bear when he went hunting in the mountains last year?Why did you appear here today!

Lu Ping was also startled, no matter what, it was her wedding with Zhang Wu at this time.If something goes wrong, she doesn't have to be a human being in Lingbao County.

"Song Lian, let me go first." She whispered.

"Don't let go, we have been married since we were young, how can you marry someone else?" The man named Song Lian hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

Zhang Wu couldn't take it anymore, jumped off his horse, rushed over and started fighting with Song Lian.It was inevitable that Lu Ping was accidentally injured a few times, but the two ignored it and continued to fight frantically.At this moment, another man squeezed over, picked up the panicked Lu Ping, snatched a horse, and was about to leave--

All of this is just a matter of a few breaths.The man got on his horse and was about to leave, but Lu Ping recognized him: "Zhang Xin, why are you here..."

"Niezi!" A middle-aged man rode over, "Hurry up and let go of your siblings!"

"She's not my younger brother or sister!" said the man holding Lu Ping, "I don't know where the bastard came from, you all say he is my younger brother, let me let him go, this is obviously my wife, my wife!" ! You have to let me let me go, father, are you my father!"

"Brother!" Zhang Wu let go, and Ren Songlian punched him, "I gave up everything, I don't even want the money that the Zhang family should have given me. Didn't we agree? I will give you the rest."

"A Ping is mine!" Song Lian rushed forward, "Let her go!"

"A Ping is mine!" Zhang Xin yelled, "What kind of exchange, it's your wishful thinking, A Ping is mine from the beginning to the end..."

"The family is unlucky! The family is unlucky!" Lu Gong rushed out and saw this scene, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he passed away.

Duke Lu's wife hurriedly called out Duke Lu's name, tears streaming down her cheeks.

But Duke Lu's new concubine stepped forward: "You three are talking to yourself, why don't you ask Mrs. Ping who she wants to marry."

The three of them were taken aback, and all looked at Lu Ping.

"I..." Lu Ping secretly hated that talkative bastard.Wife, for some reason, her chest was in severe pain at this time, and her throat was also a little sweet.But under the urging voices of everyone, she had no choice but to open her mouth, "I want to marry Zhang...poof..."

"Ah!" All the people who could see her current face from the front shouted loudly.

"A Ping!" Zhang Wu rushed over, crying bitterly, "A Ping, what's wrong with you? Why are you vomiting blood!"

Zhang Xin was startled, looked down, screamed in fright, and pushed Lu Ping off the horse.

Before Song Lian could pounce on her, Zhang Wu pushed him away. Zhang Wu picked up Lu Ping, slowly stretched out his hand to check her breath, and then fell to the ground with a cry of surprise: "A Ping, A Ping! !"

Duke Lu had just woken up. Hearing the cry, he asked his wife to support him and walked over. When he got closer, he saw his daughter was bleeding from seven orifices and her face was blue.As if, as if a...

Seeing this scene, Duke Lu's wife closed her eyes and passed away.

Lu Gong slowly leaned over, sniffed at his daughter, then trembled all over, and shouted: "Who, who killed A Ping?"

The common people were all in an uproar when they heard the words: This wedding suddenly turned into a farce, and just after a quarter of an hour, the farce turned into a murder case again.In broad daylight, under the bright sky, who is it...

The lord Bo Gongcao Zhang Tong has now come to his senses: "Prefect, prefect, this Song Lian died two years ago, why is he here at the wedding today? There must be something strange here!"

When Song Lian heard this, he also started to make a fuss: "A Ping is my beloved, how could I harm her? I mean, A Ping died in Zhang Xin's arms, who knows if Zhang Xin did anything?"

As soon as Zhang Xin heard this, he jumped up and scolded Song Lian and Zhang Wu.

In order to clear their suspicions, everyone insulted each other wantonly, even the concubine of Nalu was dragged into the battle because of the bowl of water and wine, and quarreled.The scene was chaotic in an instant.

Amidst the insults, only Zhang Wu, after reacting, took a step forward and hugged Lu Ping tightly without letting go, tears streaming down his face, turning a blind eye to their dispute.Only slowly using the sleeve to wipe off the blood on Lu Ping's face.Then pick her up.

"The auspicious time is coming, we are going to pay homage." He said, and then rushed towards the residence of Bo Gongcao Zhang...

----

At noon, since entering Lingbao County, Chen Ajiao and her party have become more energetic. There is no other reason, this place is really too weird!

It was clearly noon, and there were many people on the street, but there was almost no noise. Compared with the counties and even villages they had been to before, this place seemed to be a dead city.

When he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone shout: "The hall is open, the hall is open!"

Then I saw a group of people put down the items they were picking and rushed over in a swarm. What's more exaggerated was that even the small vendor rushed over without caring about packing up what he was selling.

"What's the matter?" Liu Che asked.

"Ma'am, do you dare to ask, where is everyone rushing to?" Chen Ajiao asked an old woman while holding her hand.

The old woman hurriedly said: "Don't you know? I'm going to the yamen, let go, I won't be able to find a good seat if it's too late!"

As soon as Chen Ajiao let go of her hand, she ran away in a 'swish'.

"Yamen?" Chen Ajiao was very puzzled, "What is it that makes the people of a county so obsessed with it?"

"Let's follow and have a look," Liu Che said.

----

On the court, the one sitting is not the prefect.It was a county magistrate who was found from below.

Looking at the clothes worn by the first person, Liu Che was stunned: "Why isn't the case in Lingbao County being tried by the prefect?"

A man next to him glanced at him: "Can Duke Lu be tried? His family is the master of suffering."

'Lu Gong? Liu Che thought silently, he was not familiar with the official office of the big man, so he really didn't know who Lu Gong was.

"It seems that Mr. Lu is very nice?" Chen Ajiao asked the man, "How did he become the one who suffers?"

At this time, before the official trial started, the man turned his head and said: "Mr. Lu has been the prefect of Lingbao County for 12 years. He had the opportunity to be promoted many times, but he stayed because of caring for us. Alas, God doesn't have eyes. Ah, Mr. Lu is over 50 years old and has only one daughter, and that lady is also very handsome, she is one of the most beauties in our Lingbao, but on the day this lady got married, something big happened."

Get married and make a big deal?

Zhou Bowen was taken aback for a moment: "Could it be that someone snatched the marriage?"

The man nodded: "Duke Lu's daughter is going to marry Zhang Wu, the concubine son of Lord Bo Gongcao. To be honest, it is Mrs. Lu who is kind, and the lady said that she would not marry Zhang Wu, so Mr. Lu agreed. Not at all. I look down on him because he is a concubine. But this old lady was betrothed to someone when she was young..."

"Could it be that Mr. Lu broke his promise and became fat, and one daughter married two?" Liu Che asked.

"What did you break your promise and get fat!" The man was anxious, "Is Lu Gong such a dishonest person?! The one who was betrothed was Bie Jia's only son. He went hunting in the mountains two years ago and was slapped to death by Xiong Xiazi."

"Then who snatched the marriage? Is there anyone else who loves this lady?" Yan Qing interjected.

"There are two snatchers here," the man lowered his voice, "The first one is Song Lian, the son of Bie Jia who has been dead for two years."

Everyone was startled, and Zhou Bowen's face became a little stiff. He has always been fearless, and what he is most afraid of is this ghost thing: "Could it be... don't let the family members come to snatch the marriage with the memorial tablet?"

The man's face changed suddenly, and when he was about to speak, he heard a commotion, in the back hall, all the suspects were brought out, the one in the lead was like Yushu Lanzhi.

He pointed to the man, and said in a low voice, "This is Mr. Song Lian who died two years ago."

'哐' The gavel slapped, and the county magistrate shouted: "Quiet! Everyone kneeling in the hall, please report their names one by one!"

All the people were silent, only to hear the man in the lead say: "I am Song Lian, seventeen years old, from Lingbao County."

The second said: "I am Zhang Xin, seventeen years old, from Lingbao County."

The third one is a woman: "I am Lan Lian, eighteen years old, from Weinan County."

"Suspect Lu Lan, what did you do when Mrs. Lu Ping got married five days ago?" The county magistrate opened his mouth and attacked the woman first.

"I report to the magistrate of Yin County that my concubine is the wife of Lu Gong Xinna. The Lu family's wife is married and is the concubine's mother according to the etiquette. I should make the last auspicious congratulations and present a bowl of Ruyi wine according to the custom of Lingbao County." Lan Lotus Road.

"The suspect, Mrs. Song, went to the mountain with you two years ago to hunt a boy who claimed that you had died under the claws of a bear. How do you explain this?"

"Reporting to County Magistrate Yin, although I was patted under the bear's paw, I was struggling and fell off the cliff. I was rescued by the Orion family. Although I recovered from my illness, I never knew where I was. Three days ago, I When I woke up from the dream, I found myself in the outskirts of Lingbao County. I have nothing on me, and even my clothes have changed into what I used to be." Song Lian said.

"Then where is Orion now? Who can prove that you woke up outside Lingbao County three days ago?" The county magistrate chased after him.

Song Lian was startled, thought for a while, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "There is no one."

"I heard that you wore a new dress on the day you snatched your marriage. You said you were penniless. Where did you get the money to buy the new clothes? Also, have you ever returned home in Lingbao County?" the county magistrate asked again. ask.

Song Lian smiled wryly and shook his head: "My new clothes were by my side early that morning, and there were more than ten copper coins. When I got home, the servants at home would not let me in. My father and mother were not in Lingbao County. ..."

"County Yin," said the clerk at the side, "Because of Duke Lu marrying a daughter, Song Biejia and his wife went back to their hometown for a while. After all, it used to be..."

County magistrate Yin understood, but no matter what he thought about it, the biggest suspect now was the dead and alive Song Lian.

"You said you were rescued by Orion. Why haven't you thought about returning to Lingbao County in the past two years?" County Magistrate Yin asked.

"I," Song Lian blushed, "I, I have tried to come back countless times in the past two years, but I don't know the direction. There is only the Orion in that mountain, and every time I wake up, I will return to the thatched cottage in the mountain. "

"Then what is Orion's name?" County Magistrate Yin asked.

"I... I don't know."

"Then what does the Orion look like? What are its characteristics?" County Magistrate Yin asked again.

"He looks very inconspicuous, without any features." Song Lian said.

"I see that you are talking nonsense. Whether you are Song Lian is still open to question. You disappeared and returned strangely. To be honest, did you kill the lady of the Lu family?" County Magistrate Yin gave a pat on the gavel. , Angrily reprimanded Song Lian.

"I grew up with the lady of the Lu family. How could I harm her? I would rather die myself than hurt her in the slightest." Song Lian quickly argued.

But the County Magistrate Yin decided that Song Lian was talking nonsense, so he should be convicted.The common people didn't see anything strange, they just felt that County Magistrate Yin settled the case very quickly, and what's more, he talked about ghosts and gods, bluntly saying that Song Lian must be some kind of ghost who came back from the corpse.Was it so lively...

As soon as the verdict was about to be handed down, someone came crying, "My son is back? Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I want to see if my son is back!"

The crowd was pushed away, and the old couple came to support each other. When they saw Song Lian, they were taken aback for a moment, then the old woman rushed over and said goodbye to his left ear, and suddenly cried: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, it's me!" Er, it's our Lian Er!"

The old man rushed over and saw the two small moles behind his ears, then brushed his hair back to check the back of his head.Dang even burst into tears: "Lian'er, Lian'er is back!"

That County Magistrate Yin was transferred to Lingbao County not long ago, but don't be the right hand of the prefect, how could he not recognize him?Immediately stood up and looked at the old man: "Song Biejia, this, this is really your little man?"

"It's absolutely true!" Song Ying cried, "What's wrong with my son? Why are you kneeling here! They said you killed A Ping, and your mother and I didn't believe it no matter what. Back then you fought with A Ping Nao. She accidentally pushed you, made you kowtow, and fell into the pond in fright. You were still bleeding, so you jumped down and picked her up..."

County Magistrate Yin also had a headache when he heard this: "Biejia Song, your husband is very suspicious. Although he may not have done it, he can't leave."

Song Ying agreed, and only pulled his wife back together, looking at her son with tears in her eyes, not to intervene in County Magistrate Yin's handling of the case.

"Suspect Mrs. Zhang, what did you do that day when the lady of the Lu family got married?" County magistrate Yin saw that his guess had failed and could not settle the case, so he could only turn to Zhang Xin.

"That day, when I got up early in the morning, I was tied up in the room." Zhang Xin sneered, "A Ping and I have already made love to each other, but they want to give A Ping to that Zhang Wu."

"Why were you tied up in the room early in the morning?" County Magistrate Yin asked.

Zhang Xin's face changed, and after a while, Fang looked at the toes and said, "They are preventing me from robbing the bride."

"He's lying." Liu Che whispered, "Sister Gillian, am I right?"

Chen Ajiao naturally saw that Zhang Xin's words were false, but County Magistrate Yin couldn't.

Zhang Xin is still saying: "A Ping and I have already made a private decision for life. She is my wife. I don't want to marry the daughter of any censor in the capital. I don't want to leave Lingbao County, and I don't need the Zhang family's wealth. As long as A Ping. However, they killed my A Ping."

"They?" County magistrate Yin was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Who is it? Who killed the lady of the Lu family?"

"It's Zhang Wu!" Zhang Xin said, "It was he who killed A Ping, yes, it was him."

"Fart!" Some of the people below spit at him, "You robbed your younger brother's relatives, killed your younger sister-in-law, and even slandered your younger brother. Lord magistrate, this new statement cannot be taken seriously!"

"Yes, yes! He sneaks around all day long, and he likes to bring a few scoundrels around for free." Someone followed and scolded.

"That's right, and they are often called to collect debts. How can the lady of the Lu family like this kind of person?"

All of a sudden, there were sounds of crusade against Zhang Xin everywhere.Even the man who introduced the situation to Liu Che and Chen Ajiao at the beginning joined the crusade team: "I am a vegetable seller. This is Zhang Xin. I fought with people on the street and smashed my vegetable stall."

Magistrate Yin's head got dizzy from the quarrel, and he slapped the gavel with a 'pop': "Zhang Xin, my officer sees that you must have hate because of love, and you have evil thoughts about taking your wife. You killed the Lu family in a moment of anger. Lady, you must have killed the lady of the Lu family!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to hand down the verdict, but someone whispered a few words in his ear.Magistrate Yin nodded again and again, and then the gavel patted again: "The case has come to light, and the murderer is Zhang Wu, the concubine son of the Zhang family. I announce that Zhang Xin, Song Lian and Lan Lian are acquitted! The prisoner Zhang Wu, Ask to beheaded in three days!"

"I think you are a stupid official!" After all, Liu Che is a young man at heart, and he was so angry that he finally couldn't help shouting, "The conviction must be based on evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that Zhang Wu killed the Lu family's wife? ?”

County magistrate Yin blew his beard and stared angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? Stand up if you have the guts!"

"It's me!" Chen Ajiao couldn't stop her, she could only watch Liu Che take a step forward, pointing at the county magistrate Yin and scolding: "I think you are a stupid official who doesn't know right from wrong!"

Chen Ajiao had a headache for a while, and when she was about to try to persuade her, she heard the magistrate Yin pointing at Liu Che and scolding: "Come here! This man ignores the laws of the country. He must be a traitor. He may not have participated in the death of Lu's wife. Hurry up!" Catch him for me, take him down together, and behead him three days later!"
