lord and beauty

"What's the name of the tree you're talking about?"

Tan Qiu woke up from his memories, and what he saw was Jiang Beimu's deep eyes. I don't know if it was his illusion, but in the blink of an eye just now, he seemed to see a trace of worry in Jiang Beimu's eyes.

"Diluo..." Tan Qiu hesitated, "It should be called this name, but Diluo likes water, and it doesn't grow in the dirt mountains, but mostly grows beside the secluded streams in the mountains."

"Impossible. We often go there to cut firewood. If it's a poisonous tree, Saburo won't touch it!" Hearing what the man said, the woman showed hesitation, but still clenched her teeth. admit.

"How did you know this?" The magistrate looked at Tan Qiu and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Tan Qiu was a little at a loss. These things seemed to be buried deep in his mind, and they could be pulled out with a light hook. I don't know what to say.

"My father told me." Tan Qiu said boldly relying on the familiar figure in his mind.

The magistrate was about to say something, but Tan Qiu saw Fu He standing up suddenly, reached out and patted Xiao Ye's shoulder, and then quickly gestured something, Xiao Ye nodded repeatedly.

"Wait a minute, my lord." Xiao Ye cut off the conversation first, reached out and patted Fu He's shoulder to signal him to speak slowly, and then conveyed: "This tree Fu He has some impressions. I have seen it on the mountains and rivers. The tree is indeed the same as what Tan Qiu said, but this kind of tree usually grows in the south of the Lingnan, and it is not suitable to plant it in large quantities in the south of the Yangtze River."

"After eating the fruit of this tree, people will gradually deteriorate from the body and die in pain. Therefore, this tree was cut down in large quantities many years ago. And the sap infiltrated by this tree is also poisonous."

After Xiao Ye conveyed Fu He's words, he gently pushed him back on the chair, turned his head casually and met Jiang Beimu's eyes in the air, and they were separated instantly.

"Since that's the case, then you only need to find the tree with the branch he used that day to know if it's Diluo." Jiang Beimu said lightly.

"My government asks you, do you still remember where the branches you picked that day were?"

The man nodded quickly when he heard the words, and said: "I put the branch into the firewood and took it back together. The tree is in the mountain where our family often chops firewood. My elder brother knows the place."

"Where is Mr. Zhang Family?" The magistrate knocked on Xingmu and called out to the crowd.

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man with a loyal appearance ran in from the crowd with his hands raised, and when he reached the front of the hall, he bent down deeply and said to the magistrate, "My lord, it's Xiaomin."

"Take a few people to the place where you found your brother..." Before the magistrate finished speaking, Xiao Ye lazily said: "They don't recognize that kind of tree, I will go with Fu He, and it happens that Fu He knows , and let him see if it is the poison of this tree."

"If it is, let's dig it up and show it to everyone, so that we don't accidentally eat it ourselves." Xiao Ye said lightly, as if he was joking with everyone, only the people from the Zhang family saw it. Showing embarrassment, Tan Qiu looked sideways, and the Zhang family woman seemed to be a little moved, and when she touched Tan Qiu's gaze, she hurriedly turned her head to the side, not daring to meet her gaze.

The magistrate didn't obstruct him, so he acquiesced to Xiao Ye's approach. Xiao Ye grinned, followed Fu He and led the yamen servant and Mr. Zhang family to the outside, and the watching crowd outside the yamen immediately gave way.

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly lifted up her dress and stood up, followed by shouting: "I'm going to have a look too."

The magistrate raised his chin slightly, acquiescing to the woman's behavior, and among the people watching outside the door who were curious about this, they followed Xiao Ye and the others and walked towards the mountain together.

There was a lot of time and space in the government office, only Yu Jiangbeimu and Tan Qiuli were in the court, Zhang Jiasanlang still looked ugly, sitting on a chair panting for breath.The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly ran towards the man.

"Husband..." The woman called out softly, and the tears in her eyes were pear blossoms with rain. The man immediately ignored other things, and hurriedly supported the woman, comforting him in a clumsy voice.

Seeing this, Tan Qiu pursed his lips, the hall was very quiet, the magistrate was whispering something to the civil servant, Tan Qiu didn't care about it, and the woman's soft weeping sound came from his ear

"Sit down for a while." Tan Qiu was in a trance, but Jiang Beimu whispered in his ear, and then took Tan Qiu to the seat on the right.

The crowd outside watching the excitement had almost dispersed at the moment, Tan Qiu glanced outside, then looked sideways at the magistrate, the magistrate did not lift his eyelids, nor did he look at Tan Qiu.

Tan Qiu was hesitating whether to sit or not. After all, it seemed that it was not good to sit casually in the courtroom. After all, the magistrate hadn't spoken yet.

Jiang Beimu didn't wait for Tan Qiu to hesitate, he raised his hand and pressed Tan Qiu's shoulder. With a little force, Tan Qiu was forcibly pressed on the chair.

Jiang Beimu turned around and sat on Tan Qiu's other side, propping his head on one hand, as if thinking.

Tan Qiu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if a needle was stuck in her ass, she always wanted to sneak a look at the magistrate from time to time.

"The people in the mansion didn't make things difficult for you anymore?" Jiang Beimu asked suddenly.

Tan Qiu blinked, thinking of Mei Xiang's appearance of daring to be angry and dare not speak up today, he knew in his heart, it seemed that Jiang Beimu had beaten him before, Tan Qiu was about to reply, but he didn't know why he suddenly thought of it That weak and thin maid.

"It's not embarrassing me, it's just..." Tan Qiu hesitated to speak, and with the look of "I have difficulties, I don't know whether I should say it", Jiang Beimu couldn't help laughing.

"what."

Tan Qiu saw that Jiang Beimu was in a good mood, and immediately added fuel and jealousy: "Master, you don't know that our family lacks a housekeeper."

"Well, I know." Jiang Beimu smiled, watching Tan Qiu's mysteries with great interest.

"Oh, without a housekeeper to manage people well, those housekeepers and maids are all starting to learn how to behave badly. If they don't have work, they will be a bully if they are caught." Tan Qiu knew that his behind-the-scenes things like this really can't be called He is open and aboveboard, but it can just satisfy the little Jiujiu in his heart.

"It's not that I'm meddling in other people's business..." Tan Qiu talked softly with Jiang Beimu, "I'm really afraid that if they go out in the future and cause trouble, it will be in the name of our Jiang family. Don't you care about me, master?" good!"

Jiang Beimu laughed when he heard the words, and Tan Qiu spoke vigorously and wanted to add a few more words, but when he raised his head, he suddenly bumped into Jiang Beimu's deep eyes that glowed with a strange color under the sunlight.

Suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She looked like that little concubine who was bullied and came to give her master a pillow.

Tan Qiu blushed suddenly, but he didn't know that Jiang Beimu's eyes were so scorching.
