Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

It was not the first time Gao Ping met Zhang Chi, but this time, he found that Zhang Chi's aura had completely changed. If he was gentle and polite last time, then this time he was aggressive.

"My lord, Gu Xihe is the Xie Yuan of this spring. He has a great reputation, but you put him in prison for no apparent reason. My lord, what you did is violating Article 12 of our famous law, which is completely wrong. of!"

Gao Ping didn't take Zhang Chi seriously at all, he sneered and said, "What's the point of Gu Xihe being famous? The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention he's just a little Xieyuan?"

Seeing Gao Ping's arrogant attitude, Gu Xihe was very dissatisfied, and his tone became more direct.

"My lord, it is true that the prince committed the same crime as the common people when he broke the law, but Gu Xi and he did not break the law at all. Where did the crime come from? Which paragraph of the Daming Law did you imprison him?"

"Who said he didn't break the law? He injured people with a knife, and there are physical witnesses and evidence. He can't deny it at all."

"Gu Xihe hurt someone? Excuse me, my lord, who did he hurt?"

"Si Tong!"

As soon as Gao Ping finished speaking, the people standing at the entrance of the county government office watching the excitement booed loudly.

"Sitong? Did I hear you right? Boss Gu could actually hurt him? I don't believe it."

"That's right, Si Tong is a well-known gangster in this town. Several of his subordinates bully men and women all day long. It's good that he doesn't hurt anyone. Who else can hurt him?"

"Gu Xihe? Second Young Master Gu wounded someone with a knife? He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken?"

"That's not true. Young Master Gu has been weak since he was a child. Although he has grown taller now, he still looks weak and weak. Doesn't he look like he can hurt people?"

"This gentleman is so old that he doesn't even have the ability to judge. What case is he still trying?"

"Si Tong is rich! I heard that Si Tong often comes to the Yamen these days!"

"Shh...you dare to say this?"

"Why don't you dare to say it? If he dares to do it, he won't be afraid of people talking about it!"

"..."

Although Gao Ping couldn't hear clearly, he could guess what the common people were saying once in a while.

He only felt his face burning hot, and he slapped the gavel suddenly, "Silence! Whoever dares to say one more word, I will judge him as a disturbance of the court, and he will be punished first!"

The common people were stupefied and immediately shut up.

Gu Xihe said indifferently: "My lord, the daimyo law said that the people in the court trial can watch and supervise, but they didn't say that they can't discuss it, right? Just now the villagers' voices were not loud, and they were all standing outside the security line. How could it be considered disturbing the court?" ? Or are the adults guilty and dare not let the common people hear the trial here?"

As soon as his words fell, the common people at the door began to discuss again, and some even raised their voices slightly on purpose.

"That's right! There are regulations in the Daming Law, ordinary people can hear the trial at the door, why don't you let us speak?"

"Zhang Chi is right, maybe he has a guilty conscience?"

"Hehe, I don't believe that Gu Xihe hurt people, and I don't believe that there is nothing tricky behind this case!"

"..."

Hearing these discussions, Gao Ping's chest heaved and he slapped the gavel in his hand several times, and shouted: "Zhang Chi, don't be arrogant! Do you believe that this officer will even put you in prison?"

Zhang Chi sneered: "Dare to ask my lord, which one of the famous laws do you want to imprison me?"

"You, you despise the court!"

"My lord, the grassroots go to the court, first salute, then appeal, and then reason, how can you despise the court? The folks here can testify for me!"

The people outside the door shouted in unison, "Yes! We can testify to Zhang Chi. His attitude is upright and polite, his words are well-founded, and he did not contempt the court at all. You can't cure him!"

"you!"

Gao Pingqi's chest rose and fell, but he had nothing to say. He never thought that Zhang Chi was just a grassroots person, but he could be so sharp-tongued and incite the common people.No, maybe these people were called by him.

Panting heavily, he stared at Zhang Chi in the hall, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Master Lin next to him stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Gao Ping nodded, took a deep breath, and slammed the table down, "Tell Gu Xihe to go to court!"

A yamen servant agreed to go, Gao Ping raised his voice and said: "Zhang Chi, there are witnesses and evidence, I see what you have to say!"

Gu Xihe didn't even look at him, but just waited for Zhang Chi to go to court.

After a day and a night, he couldn't eat well, sleep well, Zhang Chi obviously lost weight, and his complexion was not good, but this kind of weak appearance, he looked more like Gu Xihe.

As soon as he appeared, the common people began to discuss in low voices again, causing Gao Ping to pat the table repeatedly.

Seeing Zhang Chi's haggard appearance, Gu Xihe's eyes immediately turned red.

As soon as Zhang Chi entered the lobby, he never took his eyes off Gu Xihe. He saw that he was wearing a thick cotton padded jacket, with a gray fox fur scarf around his neck, which made his face paler, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes, obviously from last night. Did not rest well.

A little guilty in his heart, facing Gu Xihe's worried eyes, he smiled apologetically and comfortingly at him.

He cupped his fists at Gao Ping, "My lord, the student was wronged! I didn't hurt anyone at all!"

"Injustice? Didn't hurt anyone?" Gao Ping slapped the table, "Si Tong and his subordinates can prove that you stabbed him with a short knife, and you still don't admit it?"

Zhang Chi said lightly: "My lord, I didn't do anything, and I won't admit it!"

"Gu Xihe, are you still arguing?"

"My lord, how can I be sophistry? The Secretary has witnesses, and I also have witnesses. How can you listen to one side and believe it?"

Gao Ping suddenly laughed, "It seems that you won't admit it without punishment? Someone, drag Gu Xihe down, and give him a hard [-] blows!"

Before the servants agreed, Zhang Chi shouted: "Wait a minute! My lord, have you forgotten the Daming Law? Do I need to remind you? Gu Xihe has meritorious service, and he cannot be tortured until he pleads guilty!" "

Gao Ping sneered, "Da Ming Lu? Zhang Chi, so what if you keep reminding me of Daming Lu? As long as Gu Xihe pleads guilty, everything I do is legal!"

"Wrong! You have broken the law now, how can you say it is legal?"

"How about I broke the law?" Gao Ping stood up abruptly, "You, a commoner, can also give pointers to my judge?"

Gu Xihe stood up abruptly, "My lord, just now you said that the prince broke the law and the common people are the same crime, and you just admitted that you broke the law, so what should you do?"

"Come here!" Gao Ping became furious, "Get this Zhangchi out of here! Give Gu Xihe twenty big boards, beat him hard!"

The boos and discussions of the common people almost broke through the hall, but Gao Ping couldn't care less, he shouted angrily, "Get out of these rioters!"

Just when the common people dispersed, Zhang Chi refused to leave, and Gu Xihe was thrown to the ground, three people walked in from the gate of the yamen.

The leader was a young man in black, followed by two men, one in blue and the other in blue.The three figures are tall and tall, with extraordinary momentum.

Zhang Chi looked up to see who was coming, and his heart skipped a beat, why are they here?

Wenxuan walked into the lobby and stood still without looking sideways, and said calmly: "Master Gao, what an official authority!"

Jiang Wenzheng glanced at the yamen servants who were holding onto Gu Xihe, and moved quickly a few times. He didn't see how he made the move, and the yamen servants let go of their hands, staggering took a few steps back.

Jiang Wenzheng helped Gu Xihe up with both hands, and said with a smile, "Young Master Gu, let's meet again."

Zhang Chi rubbed his arms, clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect brother Jiang to be so skilled, thank you very much."

Jiang Wenzheng smiled and said, "Young Master Gu, you are being polite."

He wanted to say more, but he saw that Gu Xihe had already moved forward.He looked over puzzled, and saw Gu Xihe walked over a few steps, pushed away the yamen servant who was holding a man, and took the man's hand, with a gentle face, talking in a low voice.

Jiang Wenzheng saw the man's face clearly, and his expression changed immediately. He walked up to Wenxuan and said in a low voice, "Master, is that Zhang Chi?"

Wen Xuan turned his head to look at the person in front of Gu Xihe, narrowed his eyes, and nodded.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Gao Ping patted the table several times, and said loudly, "Who are you? How dare you fight with the officials? Someone, take them down!"

Yu Lei snorted coldly, took two steps forward, took out a token from his bosom, held it up high, and said in a deep voice: "Master Gao, in front of Marquis Dingguo, how dare you yell like this, do you want to kill yourself?" ?”

Gao Ping said "ah", opened his eyes wide, and looked at the token in front of him, engraved with an eagle pattern on it, and the word "Xuan" underneath, it was indeed a token of Ding Guohou Wenxuan.Although he had never seen it before, when Dingguo Hou fought back the Northern Borderlands, the emperor gave the Flying Eagle Token, and specially drew a portrait for posting in all states and counties. I am afraid that no one in the world would know about it.

He looked up at Wenxuan again. He was tall and his face sank into the water. Just one look made his legs go weak.

He walked down the steps trembling, and knelt down in front of Wenxuan with a "plop".

"My, I'm Gao Ping, I've met the Marquis of Dingguo."

Wenxuan didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Gao Ping, as a county magistrate, you are not as familiar with the famous law as an ordinary person. Do you really not know, or do you know the law and break the law?"

"Master Hou, Lord Hou, it's the lower officials who are confused for a while, and are confused for a while."

"Confused for a while? Okay, Master Ben will believe your words. Go back and copy the Daming Law a hundred times, and you will remember it clearly in the future."

"Yes, yes. I must copy it seriously."

"Okay, I'll take Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi away. Whatever happens to them, it's all on Ben Hou Ye."

"Yes, yes. I don't dare, I don't dare!"

The common people who had just watched the fun had dispersed, and only Gu Xi and He Zhangchi were left in the lobby.

The real Gu Xihe looked at Ding Guohou, a little confused about the situation, and didn't understand how Zhang Chi knew him.When Ding Guohou walked over, he naturally knelt down and saluted.

"Caomin... Zhang Chi has met Marquis Dingguo."

Wen Xuan bent down, helped Gu Xihe up himself, looked at the person in front of him, and finally sighed after a while, "Zhang Chi, you...why do you need to be so polite?"

Gu Xihe suddenly raised his head, Master Hou, what does this mean?He knows me?No, he knows Zhang Chi?

He looked at Zhang Chi next to him, and Zhang Chi also looked confused.What's happening here?Master Hou knows Xihe?No, no, he should know Zhang Chi, himself.

He hurried forward and said, "Master Hou, this is not a place to talk, shall we leave here first?"

Ding Guohou turned his head, saw Gao Ping and the yamen servant kneeling beside him, and nodded, "You lead the way."

"Yes."

Zhang Chi thought for a while, and took Ding Guohou and his party to his teahouse.

He had many questions in his mind, he was just a commoner, how could he know Ding Guohou?Judging by Wenxuan's appearance, he seems to be obsessed with Zhang Chi. Could it be that there is something hidden between the two of them?It's just that he doesn't even remember it!

He glanced at the tall and strong Wenxuan, and then at the silent and slender Gu Xihe, his heart trembled. He was sure that even if he liked men, he only liked Gu Xihe.

Zhang Chi happened to meet Gu Xihe's gaze, and seeing the doubt and worry in his eyes, he couldn't help holding his hand.Gu Xihe's face felt hot, but he was reluctant to let go.

Naturally, the small actions of the two of them could not escape the eyes of the three people behind them. Wen Xuan's face darkened. After not seeing him for a few years, Zhang Chi forgot about him, got married, and had a child.No, how could Zhang Chi be Shuang'er?

Jiang Wenzheng and Yu Lei exchanged glances, and they also had many questions in their hearts.

A group of people had their own thoughts and went to the teahouse in silence all the way.

The teahouse was open, not only Cui Jingshun, but also Yan Chen and Yan Xi.When they saw that Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi had returned, they were both surprised and delighted, and rushed forward to welcome them.

Cui Jingshun said with red eyes: "Boss Gu, you are back. Did Mr. Gao release you? Zhang Chi, you will be fine in the future, right?"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Uncle Cui, don't worry, nothing will happen in the future."

"That's good, that's good. Zhang Chi, Boss Gu must be tired after staying in the yamen all night. Take him back quickly, take a good bath, get rid of bad luck, and get a good night's sleep."

"I'm fine. Uncle Cui, these are my guests, please entertain me first." Gu Xihe said to Wenxuan again: "Master Hou, I'll take Zhang Chi upstairs to rest first, please wait a moment."

Wen Xuan nodded and sat down at a table.

Gu Xihe pulled Zhang Chi upstairs, and said impatiently, "Brother Chi, that Marquis of Dingguo is obviously after you. Have you ever had any contact with him before?"

Zhang Chi smiled and shook his head, "Did you forget that I lost my memory? I don't remember him at all."

"What should I do?"

Zhang Chi pressed him to sit down, "Don't worry, since he saved me, it means that he has no malice towards me. Xihe, take off the mask! You sleep here first, and I will meet that Lord Hou when I go down." .”

Gu Xihe grabbed him, "I won't change, I'll go down!"

Zhang Chi raised his hand, rubbed it against his ear, and then peeled off the mask.

"Xihe, you are not yet confinement, your health is important."

Gu Xihe held his hand tightly, "No, I'll go down with you!"

Looking at Gu Xihe's resolute gaze, Zhang Chi could no longer refuse.

He patted his hand lightly, "Okay, you take off your mask too, let's change our clothes again, and we'll go down here."

"it is good."
