[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

With a creak, the palace door opened slowly, and a guard came out, asking loudly, "Who beat the drum?"

I put down my drum stick, and knelt down with my skirt pressed down, "The woman Zhang Sanniang, Longqing County, Heizhou, sued Wang Shiyi, the prime minister of Yecheng County, Hongzhou, for the wealth of her nephew and her nephew. Sister-in-law, that is, the sister-in-law of the common people, Wangzhang's Yantian." After saying that, I bent down and bowed down.

"You wait first." The guard turned and went back, and the palace door closed again.

The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky, and the scorching sun was shining on me, who was kneeling like this.

"Miss." Xin Zi frowned.

I waved her off.Communication and discussion in the palace are time-consuming and time-consuming. Now that I am suffering, the more embarrassing I am, the better.

With a creak, the palace door was opened again, and a group of guards came out to welcome them.

"There is a decree from the Holy Spirit," the leading guard announced loudly, "Xuan, Zhang Sanniang will meet you at the palace!"

Hearing that the guards finally came to announce, I stumbled to my feet, then knelt down again and said, "The woman leads the decree." Then, under the leadership of the palace guards, I set foot on the Golden Temple for the first time.

The two sides of the hall are full of high-ranking officials, and on the highest part of the Jinluan Hall are Zheng Youshun, who is standing holding a lupine, and Zi Liuhui, the current king of Caiyun Kingdom, who is sitting with twelve bead curtains covering his face.

"Your Majesty," the guard who led me in knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, and said, "Bring Zhang Sanniang here."

"En." Zi Liuhui responded.

The guards stepped back after saluting, the gate of the Jinluan Hall was slowly closed, and the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, and it was impossible to see anyone's face in a daze.

You Shun replaced Zi Liuhui and said, "Are you Zhang Sanniang?"

"Yes." I saluted, bowed my head and knelt down in the middle of the hall, "The woman is Zhang Sanniang, see Your Majesty." I bowed my head and kowtowed again.

"Your case has already been reported by the guard. Zhang Sanniang, do you have conclusive evidence to prove what you said?"

"Return to your lord, yes." I raised my head slightly so that my voice could be heard clearly in the hall, "The women have already found some witnesses who can testify about my sister's daily misery and the situation when she was widowed. According to the official record when the case was sentenced, my sister's only child, Wang Yanhu, has also come to the capital and can testify."

"My lord." You Shun turned to Zi Liuhui.

Zi Liuhui's voice was much more serious than when we saw each other before, "I know. Now that you have the proof, I also sounded the Dengwen drum." He hit the floor with the unsheathed sword in his hand, With a clang, "General Gu will personally accept the case."

I knocked my head heavily, the wound on my forehead that had just stopped bleeding opened again, the pain made me bite my lip hard, and then I replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Since you want to sue the officials," You Shun's voice sounded leisurely, "Do you know that civilians have to hit [-] boards before suing the officials?"

"Yes."

"That's good. Come here, drag Zhang Sanniang out of the hall, and beat her eighty times."

After I kowtowed again, I got up and followed the guards to the outside of the hall.They set up a bench in the empty square outside the temple, and there were two people holding large wooden boards standing on both sides of the bench.I fell on a chair, my hands and feet were tied, and I started to be boarded in the sun.

"Ah!" When the board came down for the first time, I was caught off guard and screamed.

Damn, it hurts!Even if I had already spent money on the people who hit the board so that they would not beat me to death, and even put on the thickest pair of pants in the house, when the board fell... it was still a fucking pain !

"Ah!" The second time I hit the board, I still screamed, and even the tear line began to ooze tears because of the pain.

Yan Tian, ​​you dead girl, if you have any knowledge... If you have any knowledge, remember to prepare more delicious food for me when I come down to settle the score for you.I took the third board with tears streaming down my face.The ideal posture of a tough guy who doesn't make a sound when he is beaten, I can't even survive a board...Ah! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !It hurts, bastard! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"Ah!" By the time I hit the tenth time, my voice was already hoarse.

"Wait a minute!" It was Peak Season who spoke to stop the execution.He stood up, "Zhang Sanniang is the fiancée of the head of the Lan family. According to the noble etiquette, she accuses officials that they don't need to be beaten like ordinary people."

There was an uproar in the court.

Thank you, Mr. Peak Season.I laughed, raised my hand to wipe my smeared face, and said loudly: "Master Wang's words are wrong. I have already rejected this marriage contract, so I am not suitable for the noble law." If I can't use If you want to win this battle as a civilian, then everything is meaningless.

The uproar was even worse.

"Even so," Huang Fengzhu, who was wearing a face mask, also said, "Zhang Sanniang is also an elder who married Lan Shisanji, so it's not appropriate to execute him like this."

Thank you, really.I blinked my eyes, and wiped off the cold sweat that had slid from the corners of my forehead, and said, "Princess Lan is now His Majesty's chief female officer, it has nothing to do with marriage, and I have nothing to do with San Niang."

Then, biting my lip, I hit the No.11 board.

"Ah!" It turned out that lip biting was even worse. Not only could I not stop the screams, but I even bit my lips, and there was blood on my forehead, face, and mouth. How embarrassing it was.

"Master Zhang," a servant came over and handed me a cloth bag in embarrassment, "This...the palace rules, don't disturb the nobleman..."

I twitched the corners of my mouth, bit a cloth bag shamefully, and continued to bear the board.After that, I didn't have time to have fun. When I didn't know which boards came down, my eyes went dark and I passed out.

"... Splash!" A large basin of cold water was poured over.

I woke up, spit out a mouthful of water, and shivered.

"Ah!" Another board was knocked down.

This time, I didn't even have the strength to grab the side of the chair, and my palms had already been pierced by nails.

"Master Zhang..." The servant who gave me the cloth bag just now came over again, and pointed at the cloth bag that fell to the ground because I didn't have the strength to bite it.

I twitched the corner of my mouth again, then nodded, and let him simply stuff a new cloth bag into my mouth.

"No!" I snorted.

I can't bark anymore, but the feeling of being stuffed is really fucking annoying.

Well!Well!Well! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

After being splashed with water again and again, the big board finally stopped for me before I died.When the ropes on my limbs were just loosened, I fell to the ground without any strength, and was supported by the servants at the side to complete the prostration ceremony.

"...Thank you, Your Majesty." I said with the corners of my mouth pulled.Don't play it anymore, I won't play this trick in the future, and my old lady will never play this trick again. Fucking pervert S ancient Chinese style.

"The Zhang Wang case will be tried before the imperial court ten days later," You Shun said, "retire from the court."

I passed out.

When I woke up again, it was already seven days later, and my hands, feet and feet were so painful that it didn't look like my own, let alone the butt that made me want to sleep on my stomach.Xinzi said in a mocking tone how embarrassing it was when the doctors saw my thick trousers under the long skirt when they sent me to the Imperial Hospital for treatment that day, while feeding me porridge and water.According to my situation, I couldn't get out of bed for more than half a month, so I could only lie down in the Tai Hospital, but I had already explained to Wang Dali one by one in advance, and let him go to court on my behalf when the trial started. Appeared that day, and then pointed the tip of the sword at the amendment.In this way, I have about a month to rest.

"Xin Zi, is there any problem with the licorice?" The Quanshang Federation can throw it to Huang Fengming, but I have to take care of Zhang's business.

"Sister Licorice's letter, there is a problem." Xin Zi handed the letter to me, "But after she discussed with Mr. Liu Jiahe, it was resolved."

"Hmm." After I read the letter, I handed it back to her, and reached out to rub my chest, which was stuffy from lying on my stomach for a long time.Licorice is bold and careful, while Wang Dali is smart yet steady, it would be too wasteful to insist on choosing one of them to preside over the overall situation.I thought about it, and decided to try handing over the merchant to Licorice and the dealer to Wang Dali.

I didn't ask how long it was, and fell asleep again after drinking the medicine.

"Woo----"

In my sleep, I vaguely heard the familiar sound of the flute.

I opened my eyes, listened for a while, and recognized it.The sound of the flute is long and deep, full of ancient meaning, it is Huang Yi's dragon flute.I was beaten like this this time, and he was worried, so it's no wonder he got angry.However, when I saw the faint figure on the door, I didn't know whether I should let in.

Is it really okay to let him go at this time?

At first, I blamed him for not walking cleanly at all. In the blink of an eye, we have been procrastinating for so many years, but now that I think about it, I can no longer figure out what is really good for the two of us.I was silent all night, and the flute didn't stop until I fell asleep.

As a result, I was severely taunted by Xin Zi the next morning.

"Miss, don't you think it's very poetic to convey meaning with a flute?" Xin Zi put a bowl of porridge on the table with a bang, opened two dead fish eyes with thick dark circles, and opened her mouth. Shang Huan sneered a few times, "Have you ever considered how the little person sleeping in the cubicle feels? Huh? Is the sound of this flute good or bad? I don't know, I don't have that flute." Muscles, but this blowing all night still makes people fall asleep? How about you, it’s okay to be coy, why is he so coy for such a big man? He even made a strong kiss, not a single one Is it a scene of breaking into the boudoir? If he climbs the window, I will never stop him. You think you are still young, what's the use of playing this imaginary? Don't tell me this is for fun, I will show you the chills oh."

I, I... I covered my face, and I always felt that I was familiar with Xin Zi's words.Yes, did she say it so bluntly?

Xin Zi fed me porridge with a dark face, "Get up, it's no use pretending to be dead."

"Yes," I said earnestly, shaking my index finger, "When you meet a bear, remember to play dead."

"Bears are stupid."

“…………………………”

I had a mouthful of blood choked in my throat and wanted to spit it out, but finally I was teased by Xin Zi's smug face, I burst out laughing, and obediently opened my mouth to eat the porridge.

When the flute sounded at night, I hurriedly raised my voice, "Come in."

As soon as Huang Yi opened the door, Xin Zi's pretentious voice came from the cubicle: "Oh~ why does my stomach hurt so much~ I'm going out for a while, I can't hear any sounds coming from the lady's room ~ La la la, the moonlight is so good ~ La la la la after dusk ~~~~"

I was going to blush and be shy, but when I saw Huang Yi's face turned aside with a black face and awkward look, I couldn't help laughing.Huang Yi glared at me, I waved my hand to indicate that I didn't smile, but I couldn't help smiling, so I just buried my face on the pillow, who knew that I laughed so wildly that I touched the wound on my forehead, I gasped in pain.Huang Yi rushed forward to help me, but I subconsciously avoided my hand. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became really awkward.

Finally, he stretched out his hand to help me sit down again, and I didn't avoid it anymore.

"What's the matter, Aoi-sama?"

"Where did you lose my people?"

I rubbed my nose, "No, women don't dare. But now that the autumn heat is coming, maybe a certain censor accidentally fell into it while drinking water by the well to cool off." I was afraid that he would not be able to find someone. , hastily said, "Maybe I'm dizzy from the heat, maybe I found a dry well." I've been in a coma for seven or eight days. Even if Xinzi didn't release him, he should have fed him. Certainly not lost.

Huang Yi sneered, "Zhang Sanniang is really bold."

I looked at him and smiled slightly, "It's not half as good as Aoi-sama." I looked straight into his eyes, "Aoi-sama, it's just this one time, it's not against the law." If you stop me again, I won't let it go.

The arc of his mouth was lifted up again, and his whole person had a taste full of malice, "If President Zhang has this ability, I will accompany you." He put his hand on my bedside, stretched out his index finger and lightly He tapped the bed board and made a soft thud, "Hongjia, the price."

His next target is the Hong family?I frowned. In my impression, the animation of "The Story of Caiyun Country" seemed to say that Lan Qiuying returned to Lan's house, made a break with Lan Xuena, and then returned to Guiyang, but... is this so simple?If Huang Yi made a move, he would either fight from the bottom or directly from the top, and the Lan family was the head of the nobility, and the Hong family was a little bit second, so he must deal with the blue and red families first.The king refused to marry the Thirteenth Concubine, and Lan Qiuying abandoned the name of Lan in order to follow the king, so the king cut off Lan's assistant, and the assistant of the Hong family... I smiled and said, "What is Mrs. Kui talking about?" Why can’t women understand?” He pointed to Li Jiangyou in the double flower.

He bent down slightly, put his elbows on his knees, crossed his fingers, and stared at me coldly, "Your proposal can't pass." He even threatened me with Yan Tian's case.

I still smiled and said, "Yes, maybe I won't make it through, or I might make it through, God knows." If my proposal was easily destroyed by him, it wouldn't be worth continuing.

"bid."

"Priceless." The Hong family has been taking care of me a lot. Some things can be done, but some things can't be done.

We stared at each other for a long time, Huang Yi's face was blurred by the flickering candlelight blown by the evening wind.He straightened up suddenly, helped me fall asleep, tucked the corner of the quilt, stretched out his hand to brush my forehead hair, brushed my forehead with his fingertips, turned around and turned off the light, and left without saying a word.

I looked at the closed door and sneered.Kui Huangyi is still the same Kui Huangyi, it would be good if we can negotiate this matter with me, if not, I'm not afraid that the news will be leaked.Since Li Jiangyou became the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the biggest problem was his laissez-faire to his boss, Hong Lishen. He didn't care about Li Shen's long-term sabotage, but Li Shen was his adoptive father, so he had to go through this hurdle by himself.As for Li Shen, let alone, with his mind, how could he not know the plan of the noble faction?But the king and the imperial court don't mean anything to him at all. He doesn't care whether he will be pulled down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. If he wants Jiang You to choose by himself, no one can interfere, and there is nothing I can remind room.

In this way, my attitude was confirmed by Huang Yi──I haven't decided to stand on Zi Liuhui's side with all my strength, I just care about the people I care about.

I raised my hand to cover my forehead, and brushed the hair that Huang Yi had tidied up, the harsh arc of the corner of my mouth gradually fell, I closed my eyes, and fell asleep as I should.

When she woke up, Zhang Zelan was still Zhang Zelan.
