Cannot attack objects

No matter whether Zhong Shao thought Zhan Pengfei looked familiar or not, no matter what his identity was, after he stood up and testified, the case would indeed progress.So Wang Lu was taken to Dali Temple that afternoon, and even King Rui couldn't stop Dali Temple from taking people.

Zhong Shao finally wore the official robes of Dali Temple, and held a trial in a serious manner.

Dali Temple is no different than other places. Above the court, let alone a small palace chief history, even Sangong and vassal kings were tried in the early years.It's not just the current generation of princes, but before Emperor Taiping took the throne more than ten years ago, the kings competed for the throne, framed each other and exposed each other's shortcomings, and implicated all the officials in the court. It was examined by Dali Temple.

Thinking of the time when blood flowed into rivers, and even ransacked families and exterminated families, today's veterans still feel a little guilty about Dali Temple.Wang Lu is young and has never experienced that period, but when he came to the court of Dali Temple, his performance was restrained, just the same, he refused to plead guilty.

Zhong Shao and Wang Lu spent half a day, but they had no choice but to take him into custody temporarily and then leave the hall.

After Cui Pingshi left the hall, the old god wandered around in front of Zhong Shao twice, but said: "Your Excellency is really gentle in his first trial. When encountering such a scoundrel, adults usually use torture directly. .”

Zhong Shao knew that it was Cui Pingshi who was reminding her, but she still twitched her eyebrows when she heard it, and couldn't help saying: "Wang Lu is an official after all, and he has a dignified official position in the court. If he randomly punishes the court officials..."

Cui Pingshi glanced at Zhong Shao, and then sighed: "Your Excellency still doesn't understand what Dali Temple is. Here, there have never been so-called court officials here, only criminals who need to question crimes. And those who entered Dali Temple Prisoners often lose their skin even if they don't die..."

He spoke calmly, but when Zhong Shao heard this, his back suddenly went cold.She unconsciously stared at Cui Pingshi for a few times, and for the first time thought that this seemingly cold but warm-hearted subordinate might be a cruel official?

After a long while, Zhong Shao finally pursed his lips and forced a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Cui, for your guidance. I wonder if it will be possible tomorrow..." She wanted to explain whether it would be possible to let Judging Cui be the judge tomorrow, but after thinking about it, she wanted to be here in Dali. It is impossible for the temple to rely on others all the time, so he changed his words and continued: "May I ask Mr. Cui to give me some guidance for the interrogation tomorrow?"

Cui Pingshi seemed to understand what she was going to say, and saw that she had changed her words temporarily, but did not respond, he just cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome, I will take orders."

Zhong Shao heaved a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, only to realize that the application time had arrived.Dali Temple can go to the yamen when it is applied for, but a few days ago, Zhong Shao was busy investigating the case with Cui Pingshi, and Zhong Shao has not been able to go to the yamen on time for many days.Today, the case finally has a clue, and Wang Lu has been arrested, so Zhong Shao thinks with joy that he can finally go home on time today.

However, at the next moment, Cui Pingshi spoke again: "Actually, I also know my lord's concerns. If your lord has no idea, you might as well try the young man next to Wang Lu first today. Apart from robbing women, you can also Interrogate the matter of the extermination of the Shanzhang family."

Zhong Shao heard the words, looked up at the sky, and looked sideways at Cui Pingshi.She was a little reluctant, but looking at Cui Pingshi's serious and rigid face, she thought that she took the case by herself, so she didn't have the nerve to say that she was in a hurry to go home, so she agreed: "Alright, let's interrogate first." If you don’t have this boy, let him confront Wang Lu in court tomorrow.”

Unexpectedly, Cui Pingshi shook his head when he heard this, and he said flatly, "It's nothing wrong with these, but it's just for my lord to practice."

Practice hands, what hands to practice?Trial or punishment?

************************************************** **********

That night, Zhong Shao's carriage drove out of Dali Temple again under the moonlight.However, Zhong Shao's complexion in the carriage today was not very good-looking, he was pale and pale, and still a little blue.

Xiao Shan was also sitting in the carriage at the moment, he couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw this, and asked, "My lord, are you alright?"

Zhong Shao waved his hand, not wanting to speak.Cui Pingshi's so-called practice is not only trial, but also torture.Compared with Wang Lulai, the servants in his family did not have that self-knowledge. Maybe they followed Wang Lu in and out of Prince Rui's Mansion a lot. He thought he had seen more noble people, and even his own value doubled, so he came here. Dali Temple also didn't know how to restrain itself, and its arrogance was even more arrogant than Wang Lulai.

In the afternoon, Zhong Shao had already been consumed by Wang Lu for half a day, and his patience had already been exhausted. Looking at the arrogant boy again, he immediately lost his temper.So she hesitated for a while, but in the end she was still punished.It's not heavy, it's only twenty big boards, but after the board was hit, the boy's body was covered with blood and flesh, and the strong smell of blood in the hall seemed to still linger in Zhong Shao's nose until now.

Naturally there is no place for Xiao Shan in the courtroom, so he doesn't know what happened in the courtroom. Seeing Zhong Shao's expression that he doesn't want to say more, Xiao Shan wisely didn't ask any more questions.When the carriage drove out from the rear office and turned around to the main street, he opened the curtain and looked out, then suddenly said: "Young Master, it seems that Madam is here."

Zhong Shao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately poked his head out of the car window - at the corner of the street not far ahead, a carriage was quietly parked there, and it seemed to be the one Su Mo usually rode.

Suddenly, he became a little excited, and without waiting for the coachman to stop the car, Zhong Shao pushed open the hill, opened the door of the carriage, jumped down, and rushed to the carriage parked at the corner of the street a few steps.

Seeing her, the coachman in the carriage jumped out of the carriage and called out, "Master."

It really was her family's carriage!

The melancholy between Zhong Shao's brows suddenly eased, and a gleam of joy climbed into her eyes.She waved her hand to signal the driver not to be too polite, and was about to go forward to open the door, but unexpectedly the door was already opened from the inside.

Qing Luo poked her head out, and was startled when she saw Zhong Shao who was already very close.He opened his mouth to complain about something, but thinking that today is different from the past, he still didn't say those complaints.

Zhong Shao naturally ignored Qing Luo, she looked into the carriage with her head, and called happily: "Ah Mo?"

It was already dark at this moment, there was only a little light in the carriage, and Su Mo's figure could not be seen clearly.But as soon as Zhong Shao's words fell, Su Mo's voice followed: "Ah Shao, get in the car."

Zhong Shao heard that he didn't care about his own car anymore, and promised not to wait for the coachman to take off the stool and set his feet, he lifted the hem of his clothes and prepared to get into the carriage.Unexpectedly, before she boarded the carriage, Qing Luo asked the coachman to put the stool on the other side, then got off the carriage and drove to Zhong Shao's carriage on the other side, obviously making room for the two of them.

Qing Luo, this is really... rare knowledge and interest!

Zhong Shao couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but he didn't hesitate at all, he boarded the carriage and entered the carriage in two or three steps.Then when she raised her head, she met Su Mo's smiling eyes, and then she also laughed: "Why did Ah Mo come here suddenly today?" After saying that, she closed the car door smoothly, and then leaned close to Su Mo and said, " But you came here to pick me up?"

These words sound ordinary, but they are also intimate, so it is not suitable for outsiders to hear them.

Su Mo was always generous, her lips curled slightly, and she replied with a smile: "Today I was delayed for a while at Auntie's side, and thinking that you have been late returning home recently, I asked the driver to come around and have a look. "

Zhong Shao sat down next to Su Mo, with the faint fragrance from Su Mo's body lingering in his breath, and the bloody smell from earlier seemed to have finally dissipated.She relaxed completely, and asked: "Then why don't you send me a letter? You are not afraid that I have already returned home from office, and you are tired of waiting here for nothing."

Su Mo laughed, and seeing Zhong Shao approaching, he even raised his hand to caress her cheek: "I asked someone to inquire about it, and said you were still in Dali Temple, so I was waiting here."

As for why no one sent the letter, it was naturally worried that it would distract Zhong Shao.After all, Zhong Shao's qualifications are still young, and he is a newcomer in this Dali Temple, so it is not easy to make mistakes easily and give others a handle.

While the two were talking, the coachman outside had already driven the carriage to the county mansion.

The light in the carriage was not good, and it wasn't until now that the two of them could get in that Su Mo realized that there was something wrong with Zhong Shao's expression today, so he couldn't help asking: "Ah Shao's complexion is not good today, but he is not feeling well? Or did he meet again? What's the trouble?"

Hearing Su Mo's mention, Zhong Shao couldn't help thinking of the bloody scene in the lobby in the evening - the boy was beaten twenty times, his entire back and buttocks were bloody, and his arrogance was instantly extinguished. After hesitation, he still recruited.While wailing and crying, he explained how Wang Luqiang robbed the women and pretended to be a bandit and killed Shan Changman's family. When he finally signed the pledge, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain.And if he went to prison with such an injury, there must be no one to treat him...

Zhong Shao admitted that she was soft-hearted, especially after seeing all the officials who were indifferent, she realized the gap between herself and people like Dali Temple.But she didn't want to talk to Su Mo about this today, so she smiled again and said, "I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired from investigating the case these days. But the case has progressed today, and I think it will be over in a few days." It's settled."

Su Mo naturally saw that Zhong Shao seemed to have something to hide from her, but she was always considerate. Seeing that Zhong Shao didn't want to say anything, she didn't press the question. She just held Zhong Shao's hand and said, "That's good. Turn around and let the people in the mansion talk about it." The cook will cook some delicious food for you."

Zhong Shao responded, hesitated for a while, and then slowly leaned his head on Su Mo's shoulder.

Su Mo could feel the light weight of Zhong Shao leaning on her shoulders, as if afraid of tiring her, she raised her lips and smiled again.

There was silence in the carriage, and after an unknown amount of time, Zhong Shao's voice sounded softly: "Ah Mo, I am suddenly afraid that one day I will change, become hard-hearted, cold-blooded..."

The author has something to say:

Zhong Shao (sorrowful): I am afraid that I will become cold-blooded and heartless...

Su Mo (consolation): No, at least you won't be cold-blooded and ruthless to me.
