Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

Xie Yuan was imprisoned, and his son returned to his hometown

In the Golden Luan Hall, all the Beijing officials watched Zhang Shoubei being escorted down by the guards, but no one came out as a guarantee. At this time, the officials who had advised His Majesty to order Lu Wenzheng to be executed were all in danger and did not dare to breathe aloud.

Emperor Tianshun took the imperial decree of the first emperor, descended the dragon steps, paced among the courtiers, and saw the last row of fourth-rank officials from the first assistant.

"I am very unhappy today!"

All the ministers knelt down in unison when they heard the words: "The ministers are terrified."

"You should be terrified. The front line is wrapped in horse leather, but you are intriguing in the rear. People who are studying, don't you blush?" Emperor Tianshun said loudly, "Born as a Jinshi, rich in education, but do you still have loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, righteousness and shame? You are almost harming me. Killing Zhongliang by mistake is disloyalty, framing colleagues is injustice, and disregarding other people's lives for selfish gain is shameless, is such an official worthy of it?"

"The minister is guilty."

"Guilty or not, I will have my own conclusion after the imperial trial." Emperor Tianshun turned and walked back, walked up the dragon steps, turned and looked down at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground: "Master of Dali Temple."

"The minister is here." Dali Siqing stood up, stepped out, and knelt down.

"I order you to revise the law. If you are an official or a person with a reputation, if you frame others, you will not only be guilty, but also guilty of the whole family." With benevolent government, the law can shock people's hearts. When he first took the throne, he removed the nine clans from the law. At that time, he always felt that one person was guilty and innocent people should not die. But now, he was wrong.

"Sir, obey the order."

Emperor Tianshun raised his arms backwards, waved his wide sleeves in the air, and Emperor Tianshun sat on the dragon chair with great momentum.

"In the future, when you want to move your mind, think about it, think about your nine clans, is it worth taking the risk of destroying the nine clans for a little self-interest." Emperor Tianshun said with a straight face.

"I dare not wait."

Emperor Tianshun put down the imperial decree of the late emperor, and said with a tired heart: "Decree, send out a half-coach to meet Lu Qing, the weaving department prepares official uniforms, and let Lu Qing wear them to go to Beijing. The Ministry of Punishment immediately sent people to search Zhang's house and put them all in jail pending trial. "

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly came out: "I obey the order."

"Huang Qing, don't let me down, this time to meet Lu Qing, you have to escort the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment back to me."

"Minister, obey the order, this time will not disgrace the holy order."

"Sanchao!!!" Emperor Tianshun shook his sleeves and left with a livid face.

At the end of the morning court, when the Minister of the Ministry of Rites came to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he hummed and laughed twice, straightened his back, and swaggered out of the Golden Luan Hall.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials gritted his teeth, glanced at Uncle Yang, seeing Uncle Guo shaking his head, he walked away sullenly.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to wait a little longer, took the order, left the palace in a hurry, and took the people from the Ministry of Punishment to Zhang's house.

At this time, it was just dawn, and only the maids and servants of the Zhang family got up to work, and the masters were still asleep.

When Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice brought people to Zhang's house, the servants of Zhang's house were sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door, and they were frightened when they saw a group of people.Seeing a group of people entering, I forgot to stop them for a while.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice led people into the Chuihua Gate, and there was a sudden scream. The maids and old mothers in the inner courtyard squatted on the ground in fright, and ran to the main courtyard in shock.

"According to the holy order, search Zhang's mansion, and everyone will squat down by the wall." The Minister of the Ministry of punishment said loudly, and seeing someone still crying and screaming, he said again: "Don't cry, wait until the imperial trial is over." , if you are innocent, you can be forgiven, but if you disobey, you will be punished on the spot."

"Who dares to come to my house to make noise?" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly dressed neatly and brought her maids with her. She stared at Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment for a moment. weakened.

"My lord, why did you visit early in the morning? Can my master come back together?"

"Zhang Shoubei has already been imprisoned in the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I am ordered by the Holy Order to search Zhang's family and offend him." The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice raised his hand after saying that, and the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice hurried forward to put the shackles on Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang came to her senses at this moment. Shouting: "What happened to my master? Why did you search my house?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment ignored it, and asked Mrs. Zhang to be escorted out. He led the people in and entered Zhang Ziliao's courtyard. He went in quietly, opened the curtain, and saw Zhang Ziliao sleeping with a little maid in his arms. The fragrance is heavy.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice frowned, put down the curtain, glanced at his subordinates, and strode out. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard the woman screaming in the room, followed by Zhang Ziliao's questioning and roaring .

"What are you doing? I'm Jieyuan today. You loosen your grip. You don't want to live? My father is the fourth rank of the court. It is a serious crime for you to break into an official house." Zhang Ziliao was detained and cursed all the way. Without stopping, he pushed out the door and saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was stunned, and then he knelt down with a plop, "Master, what's going on here?"

"Take me away!" The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment waved his hand, and the people below pulled Zhang Ziliao out.

"Men, teacher!!!!" Zhang Ziliao was dragged away by someone, Shuo Jiuhantian only wore obscene clothes, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment shook his head when he saw Zhang Ziliao in the examination for talents. The examination papers were indeed very talented, but it was a pity that his father ruined them.

When the Zhang family was ransacked, it was completely dawn.

"My lord, I just checked Zhang's finances and found two boxes of official money."

Hearing the words, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment walked over quickly, picked up the official silver and looked at it: "After counting the quantity, seal the box and carry it back to the Ministry of Punishment, and wait for the official to report to His Majesty."

"Yes, my lord."

After copying Zhang's house on the capital side, on the Nantong side, the city gate was slowly pushed open by the gatekeepers.

Cheng Yi and Xu Jinwen entered Cheng in a carriage.

Xu Jinwen lifted the curtain of the car and shuddered: "It's cold enough, fourth brother, do you think His Majesty's imperial decree has arrived yet? Shall we first inquire about the current situation of the Lu family?"

"It must have arrived earlier than us. They are the post station where they are going eight hundred miles away." Cheng Yi yawned, "If you leave according to the law, Mr. Lu should be taken to the capital right now. The family members of the Lu family He Mancang should still be in Nantong Prison."

"Then what if you don't follow the law?" Xu Jinwen turned around and asked.

Cheng Yi was stunned when he heard the words, then shook his head and said: "The common people are watching such a thing, how could it be possible not to follow the law?"

Xu Jinwen didn't believe it, so he stopped the coachman, jumped down, caught the peddler and asked, "Brother, let's inquire about something, let's inform Master Fulu how he is now?"

"Lord Lu, you have been taken to the capital."

"What about the family members of the Lu family?"

"Still in our Nantong prison!" The peddler said, looking at the carriage, and said with a smile, "Master, you just returned to the city? Freshly roasted sweet potatoes, how about a piece?"

Xu Jinwen smiled: "Success, two yuan."

Xu Jinwen paid the money, got into the carriage, handed a piece of sweet potato to Cheng Yi, and then he lowered his head and took a bite. He ate and said, "Fourth brother, you're really serious. I thought the Princess would ask for it in person, but why not?" You have to sell some favors, send the family members of the Lu family back to the mansion for custody, you have already understood the injustice, and let people suffer from cold in the prison, isn't it bullying."

"That can't be helped, the law doesn't respect people." Cheng Yi put the sweet potato in his palm and covered his hands.

Xu Jinwen sighed after hearing the words: "It's a pity that the warehouse is full. He must have gone crazy after staying in it for so long."

"Holding back for a few months, but being able to marry a beautiful woman is not in vain. Maybe when the Lu family is cleared of their grievances, it will be the day when the warehouse is full of wives." When Cheng Yi said about marrying a wife, he couldn't help but think of Liniang. , in the days in Beijing, every time before going to sleep, she could recall the scene when she first saw Liniang, and the smile she looked back at was so intoxicating, she could only sigh that something happened to the Lu family. Then she has money to redeem Li Niang to come out.

"Fourth brother, what are you thinking?" Xu Jinwen asked while eating.

"I was thinking, something happened to the Lu family, and the two marriages will be delayed." Cheng Yi sighed.

"Two piles? Besides Mancang and Master Lu, who else?"

"Me and Liniang." Cheng Yi broke open the sweet potato and said.

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough, cough." Xu Jinwen choked, quickly took the water bag next to him, drank a couple of mouthfuls of cold water, and turned his head to look at Cheng Yi in disbelief, "Fourth brother, who did you say you were with just now?" ?”

Cheng Yi raised his head and said with a smile, "Li Niang."

"Liniang? That pungent household in the vocal music studio?" Xu Jinwen asked in surprise, then thought of something, cleared his throat, and said with a sneer: "Fourth brother, you, you want to marry her?"

"Exactly." Cheng Yi smiled.

Xu Jinwen stopped eating the sweet potato, looked at Cheng Yi and said, "Fourth brother, you are the master of Juren, she is, she is a singer, it is not suitable for you."

"What? You also have family background? To tell you the truth, I knew I liked Liniang the first time I saw her. I didn't dare to think about it due to various reasons. Now, even on the neck of the knife rest, I have to find a way Marry Liniang. Jinwen, do you know how it feels to be responded to by someone who is thinking about it in your heart? At that time, the whole person was very excited, and I couldn't sleep. Only then did I know what tossing and turning is."

"But you married Liniang, Nantong students are not allowed to write poems and lyrics to ridicule you?" Xu Jinwen thinks that Liniang is as beautiful as she is beautiful, and her smile is indeed charming, but this kind of woman is not suitable to be a wife.

"I'm famous now, so they have to talk about it behind my back, so they won't be able to mock me in front of me." Cheng Yi thought of Liniang, and smiled, "Besides, Liniang is different from other women. , Although Liniang is socializing at the vocal music venue, I know that she is a good girl, a good girl who can live a stable life, and that Liniang is willing to marry me is the blessing I have cultivated in my life."

Hearing this, Xu Jinwen wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Cheng Yi's current state, he might have already been seduced by Liniang. Thinking about how many people touched Liniang's hands and waist, he accepted it in his heart No, Liniang's heart is kind, but her status is there, it's too much to be his sister-in-law.

"Jinwen, will you bless me?" Cheng Yi looked at Xu Jinwen.

Xu Jinwen curled his lips, thought for a while and said, "Although I don't want Liniang to be my sister-in-law, but after all, it's the fourth brother, you marry a wife, you can make up your own mind, if you really marry Liniang, I, I Beneficiary, sister-in-law."

Cheng Yi laughed when he heard this, patted Xu Jinwen on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!"

Xu Jinwen felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was too dignified, so he lifted the curtains, just as the carriage was passing through Ju County, Xu Jinwen was startled when he saw Shen Wenchang walking in the market with a food box, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then went to see, in the market, The appearance of Shen Wenchang is gone.

"It's weird, just now I saw that the warehouse was full, why did the people disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yi leaned over to take a look, and said, "He should be in prison right now."

"That's right." Xu Jinwen put down the curtain, "Fourth brother, we will cross the third bridge soon, should you go home first, or go first......"

"I'm so poor right now that I only have a few dozen coins, but I don't have the ability to enter the vocal music workshop. I'd better go home first, and I'll tell my mother about it first." Cheng Yi smiled wryly and shook his head.

Xu Jinwen looked at Cheng Yi sympathetically when he heard the words. He felt that Cheng's mother would definitely not want her son to marry a singing girl. After all, his son is now a master of the family. It is better to marry a Xiaojiabiyu than to marry Liniang. At least the family background is clean. For nothing.Going back now, his fourth brother will inevitably be beaten and scolded.
