Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

Lu Qingyi stayed in Yanghe for five days, seeing that Chen Huayun's paintings got better and better, so she took Lu Qing, Shen Song and Xiaorou back to Nantong to visit their parents.

Shen Wenchang's side escorted Zhang Ziliao and his party, and after walking for more than half a month, they arrived in the capital.

The magistrate of Yanghe County escorted the prisoner to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly took the memorial to the palace to face the saint.

At this time, Cheng Yi was biting the bullet to accompany the prince, concubine and princess for dinner.

"Junma, why do you only eat rice and not vegetables?" The princess thought that Cheng Yi was being cautious, so she changed the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables herself.

Cheng Yi had no choice but to stand up and catch it with a bowl: "Thank you, Concubine Mu."

"Family, don't be cautious. Your father and I only have one daughter, Rongyue. Now that we marry you, we have an extra son. You don't have to be cautious in front of us." The princess laughed.

The prince glanced at Cheng Yi while eating, and then said: "Your concubine mother is right, relax, as long as you treat Rong Yue well, your concubine mother and I will not treat you badly."

When the princess heard the words, she took a look at the prince, what was the last sentence she said.

Holding the bowl, Cheng Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart, this prince really reminded her to treat the princess well.Just as she was about to reply with a few words against her will to make Prince Ming feel at ease, there were many pieces of meat in the bowl, and when she looked up, the princess gave her a look with a smile on her face.

"Father, the county horse treats me very well. Don't ask the boss to lecture him face to face." Song Rongyue really thinks that Cheng Yi is very good. When they first got married, she told the truth that she didn't want to have sex early. He respected her willingly and agreed, and her daily speech and behavior made her feel at ease, a gentle and elegant talent, without the vulgarity of a man, he is really a rare lover.

"I know, I know, really, after getting married, I only care about my husband, and I have long forgotten my father." Prince Ming shook his head with a wry smile.

"No way." Song Rongyue blushed.

At this time, the steward of the palace rushed in.

"My lord, someone from the palace hastened to call the county horse into the palace."

Cheng Yi tightened her chopsticks when she heard this. A few days ago, she received a letter from Shen Wenchang, and she might have arrived. What should come has finally arrived.

Prince Ming put down his chopsticks, glanced at Cheng Yi, and asked the housekeeper, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know for now."

Prince Ming looked at Cheng Yi: "Your Majesty called urgently. It seems to be an important matter. You should go quickly."

"Yes." Cheng Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and left the Palace in a hurry.

Cheng Yi went back to the Junma Mansion in a sedan chair, and was stopped by the people behind him as soon as he got off the sedan chair.

"Son!!!"

Cheng Yi heard the sound and looked back, seeing that it was Cheng En, he was stunned for a long time, and when we met again, she was no longer that her.

"Didn't you let you protect Madam and Young Madam to move? Why did you come back?" Cheng Yi asked after recovering.

"The young lady is about to give birth soon, so it is inconvenient to move. The old lady is also afraid that the son will not find them when he returns home. The young lady is very worried about the young master, so she sent me back."

"Go home..." Cheng Yi felt pain in his heart when he heard the words, how could he go back.

"Let's go into the mansion and talk." Cheng Yi withdrew his emotions, turned around, and stepped up the steps.

"Young master." Cheng En called Cheng Yi to stop, and looked up at the door plaque again, "This is... Junma Mansion." He returned to the capital and went straight to Zhuangyuan Mansion, but the door plaque had already been changed, I was worried that there would be a change in my heart, so I didn't dare to enter.

"Come in and we'll talk." Cheng Yi stepped forward and entered the house.

Cheng En was startled, his young master has become a county magistrate?That young lady......

Entering the front hall, Cheng Yi looked at the painting in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, and sighed for a long time: "As you can see, everything has changed." After Cheng Yi said that, he turned around slowly, "I don't want to explain more, Whether you want to go back or stay is up to you.”

Cheng En was stunned when he heard the words, and asked hesitantly after a while: "Then, young lady..."

"Her? She will always be in my heart..." Cheng Yi walked to the chair and sat down, "It's just that I must separate from her."

Cheng En was silent.

"Your Majesty called me into the palace urgently. I have to change clothes and leave. You should think about it here. Whether you go or stay, I respect you." Cheng Yi got up and left, and walked to the backyard.

After a while, Cheng Yi changed into his official robe and hurried out of the mansion, got into a sedan chair and headed for the palace.

A sedan chair was dropped in front of the palace gate, and Cheng Yi was led by the eunuch to the imperial study.

"Minister, see Your Majesty." Cheng Yi knelt in front of the royal case.

"Get up." Emperor Tianshun wrote the imperial decree with a pen, then sealed the jade seal, looked at Cheng Yi and the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and said: "I have read the Yanghe magistrate's note, this time you two will try the case together, I will There is only one request, try to get Yang Qin's old thing done to me."

Emperor Tianshun said that he handed over the imperial decree to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch held it in both hands and handed it to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Minister, accept the order." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

"Huang Qing, step back first, I will leave Cheng Yi to say a few words, and you will interrogate the criminal together later."

"Here." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment retreated with the imperial decree in his hand, and glanced at Cheng Yi before leaving. This Wenqu star has a bright future.

Emperor Tianshun stood up after the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment left, walked down the dragon steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "Before you and General Qian went to the court to report on taxes and grains, the incident happened in Yanghe. You should have a trial, and you should know why. I will give you a chance to take revenge, and I hope that slaying the enemy can make the resentment in your heart disappear."

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Yi suppressed the excitement in her heart, day and night she thought about killing her enemies, and originally wanted to recommend herself for trial, but she didn't think so, His Majesty directly issued an imperial edict.

"Treat Rongyue well." Emperor Tianshun saw Cheng Yi and said slowly.

Cheng Yi was taken aback for a moment, then said: "The minister will."

"Well, let's go."

"Minister, leave." Cheng Yi took two steps back, turned around and strode out of the imperial study room.

After Cheng Yi left, Emperor Tianshun turned around slowly, and said to his confidant eunuch: "The royal family is sorry for him, but he has to abandon his wife and mother after studying hard and becoming famous. Other families are high school champions who enshrine their wives and sons, so The comparison is really unbearable."

"Your Majesty is merciful." The eunuch complimented.

Cheng Yi left the Imperial Study Room, and went out of the palace with the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and went to the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment. As soon as he walked in, he saw Shen Wenchang.

Shen Wenchang's eyes flickered when he saw Cheng Yi. After a long absence, it was very cordial to see him again.

But Cheng Yi lowered his head unconsciously, when he said goodbye, it was full of spring, and his heart was bright, but when he saw goodbye, it was early winter, and his heart was covered with dust.

Shen Wenchang's smile froze on his face, Cheng Yi's expression was not quite right, there seemed to be a tangle of sorrow hidden between his brows.

"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Yanghe County and his subordinates are here to pay homage to the two lords." The magistrate of Yanghe County brought Shen Wenchang forward to salute.

"You don't need to be too polite, this matter happened in Yanghe, let's listen to the trial." The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry said and strode to the presiding judge.

Cheng Yi smiled bitterly at Shen Wenchang, and strode to the presiding judge, sitting side by side with the Minister of Criminal Affairs.

When I was young, there was a yamen servant who placed a chair on the left side of the hall. The magistrate of Yanghe cupped his hands upwards and walked over to sit down. Goodbye for a few days, why did Cheng Yi's aura change so much?

"Cheng Shilang, please." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment humbly bowed to Cheng Yi who was next to him.

"My lord, come here. After all, this is the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment. How can Cheng Yi steal the show?" Cheng Yi followed suit.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, although His Majesty appointed you and me as the presiding judges this time, it really cultivates young talents. Cheng Shilang doesn't need to care about other things, please." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment pushed the gavel to Cheng Yi's hand.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi didn't intend to be polite anymore, revenge is important: "So, respect is worse than obedience."

After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he picked up the gavel, patted it heavily, and said loudly: "Come on, let's go to the hall!!!"

"mighty!!!!!!"

Shen Wenchang was not surprised by such scenes. In her previous life, when she was the county magistrate, she was promoted every day. It was just the way Cheng Yi patted the gavel just now, which made her feel that something was wrong.

"Bring Yanghe Master!" Cheng Yi said loudly.

"Let's go!" The yamen servant escorted the master book into the hall, "Kneel down."

"Bye, my lord." Master Yang He knelt in the hall and wiped his sweat.

"I ask you, stealing tax and food, who is the master?"

Hearing this, the master secretary felt tense. He could not offend anyone he could not offend, so he said, "Hui, Mr. Hui, Zhang Ziliao asked me to do the tax and food business. I was afraid and refused many times, but he, He threatened me, yes, threatened me, I had no choice but to help him steal tax and food, please be aware of it, my lord."

Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice frowned when he heard this, Zhang Ziliao was his student, he had been implicated in Zhang Shoubei's incident before, so he finally re-examined the imperial examination to become an official in the court, and he respected him a lot, and never thought of doing something stupid again.

"Bring Zhang Ziliao." Cheng Yi patted the gavel.

When he was young, Zhang Ziliao was escorted to court.

"Zhang Ziliao, you..." Cheng Yi was about to ask a question, but unexpectedly, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly spoke up.

"You are so courageous!" The Minister of Criminal Justice glared at Zhang Ziliao, "At the beginning, His Majesty surrounded you to survive, but you didn't know how to repay His Majesty, and even stole taxes and rations. Tell me, who ordered you to do this? Committing this crime, I can see that you confessed truthfully, and I will intercede on your behalf, and let you not die."

When Cheng Yi heard this, he tilted his head slightly, glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment from the corner of his eye, clenched his fist under his sleeve, narrowed his eyes quickly, and kept silent occasionally, watching from the sidelines.

Shen Wenchang was also surprised, the Minister of Punishment clearly intended to let Zhang Ziliao go.

Zhang Ziliao raised his head slowly, it was revealed that he already knew that he was guilty of this crime, he was arrested on the spot, besides, that stupid bookkeeper even made an account, it is really impossible to call injustice at this time.He originally thought that he died before avenging his vengeance, but his mentor still cared about his old feelings. After thinking about the evidence left by his father before his death, and the evidence in his hands, even if his mentor did not protect him today, he would If you want to drag your enemy into the water, and drag that old thief Yang Qin to die together, it can be regarded as revenge for your dead father.

"Return to your lord, the mastermind of this matter is Yang Qin, the uncle of the current dynasty, and the Minister of the Ministry of officials and other party members to help the evildoers."

Cheng Yi gradually loosened her clenched hand when she heard this, she already had a plan in her heart, she wanted Zhang Ziliao to die, no one could protect her.

Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment became energetic. His Majesty has wanted to get rid of Yang Qin for a long time, but there is no real evidence for suffering.

"Do you have any real evidence?" Minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up.

"Yes, my lord, please remove the handcuffs, and take out the evidence." Zhang Ziliao looked up at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

"allow!"

The yamen servant removed Zhang Ziliao's handcuffs, Zhang Ziliao undressed in court, and took out pieces of white cloth and several letters from the interlayer of the clothes.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments hurriedly left his seat. Before the letter, Yang Guojiu wrote to Zhang Shoubei. This Yang Guojiu not only stole official money, but also sold officials to buy titles and seized land.

"My lord, these are the evidences that Uncle Yang Guo and his henchmen colluded with Xifan to resell tax and grain. Please take a look at it." Zhang Ziliao presented it with both hands.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment read the letters between Uncle Yang and King Xifan, and he was overjoyed: "Come here, please invite Uncle Yang."

"Wait a minute." Cheng Yi stopped it.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment looked back suspiciously.

Cheng Yi stepped forward and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to borrow a word: "My lord, I feel that it is very inappropriate to summon Yang Qin at this time. Think about it, if Zhang Ziliao and others were arrested, then Yang Qin must have heard of it long ago. How could he?" Not prepared at all? This time we are in the process of promotion, and we suddenly invite him to come, do you think, will he come? There are thousands of guards in his house, and many accomplices in the ruling and opposition parties. If they think it is a dead end, they should unite Resistance, the capital city is in turmoil, what do you think His Majesty will think of you and me?"

"What Cheng Shilang said is very reasonable, so in your opinion, how can we take down that old thief Yang Qin without any fuss?"

"Temporarily stand still, and first take Zhang Ziliao and others back to the prison, saying to the outside world that the criminal has pleaded guilty and the case is over. Let Yang Qin and other gangsters take a breather, and then we will plan to make friends with Yang Qin and come to the prison. Let me invite you into the urn and take it in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back and said, "Then let's leave the hall first, and I can enter the palace and inform His Majesty of the plan."

"Okay." Cheng Yi turned around and walked to the main case, and slapped the gavel: "Come here, take Zhang Ziliao and others back to the prison, and wait for the evidence to be sorted out before trial. If you frame the court ministers, the crime will be increased. Back out!!!”

"mighty!!!"

Zhang Ziliao was escorted by the yamen guards to stand up, looking at Cheng Yi, could it be that Cheng Yi has become Uncle Yang's man since he is not in the capital these few days?

Shen Wenchang sighed slightly, something really happened.

Tang retreated, Shen Wenchang saw Cheng Yi winking at her, and quietly followed.

Cheng Yi left the lobby, took Shen Wenchang into a tavern, and asked for a private room.

The two sat opposite each other in silence.

After a long time, Cheng Yi moved and raised his hand to pour Shen Wenchang a glass of wine.

"Third brother, long time no see."

Shen Wenchang looked at Cheng Yi, his eyes were full of worry: "What happened?"

Cheng Yi was surprised, the third brother in his impression shouldn't be so insightful.

"It's hard to explain in one word." Cheng Yi didn't think about it, "I have a letter, I need to trouble Third Brother, give it to Liniang." After saying that, Cheng Yi took out the envelope from his sleeve, put it on the table, and then pushed it to Shen Wenchang with his hands.

Shen Wenchang glanced and said: "Li Niang is about to give birth. If you take leave and go back, you may be able to catch up with the birth of the baby. If you go back to accompany her, I think this letter will make Li Niang happier."

Cheng Yi watched Shen Wenchang move his mouth, finally poured a glass of wine and drank it by himself, the taste was spicy, but it couldn't compare to heartache.

"I don't have the face to see Liniang anymore." Cheng Yi put his arms on the table, lowered his head and said.

Shen Wenchang was taken aback when he heard the words.

"This is the letter of divorce." Cheng Yi raised his head slowly, and seeing Shen Wenchang's surprised expression made him feel even more unbearable.

"Trouble third brother, give the letter to Liniang after her confinement is over. Cheng Yi is heartbroken and goes home shamelessly. I don't want anything in the family. I leave it all to her and the child. I hope she will remember her old mother. As a filial piety, if there is an afterlife, I will be an ox or a horse in return."

Shen Wenchang looked at the suppressed tears in Cheng Yi's eyes, he looked like a ruthless person who abandoned his wife and daughter.

"You and I are sworn brothers, what's the trouble, you can tell us all today, and everyone can think of ideas together."

Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "Third brother, I, I have married Princess Yi, so I can't go back."

Shen Wenchang was silent, took a drink from the wine cup, and asked: "Are you forced or have you moved on? After breaking up, you feel unbearable and ashamed of Liniang, so you don't want a penny at home?"

"Third Brother, don't ask any more." Cheng Yi shook his head, "If I could die, I would have made it clear."

Shen Wenchang felt pain in her heart when she heard the words, she stood up and paced back and forth, she knew that if the royal family liked someone, they would force it.In her previous life, Jiwen was forced to marry the princess, but at that time, Jiwen was already in a high position, and if she didn't want to, she would never bow her head to death.

"Since it was forced, let's explain the situation again, maybe we can find a way out of it."

Cheng Yi shook her head, His Majesty knew about this matter, she could not act rashly.

Seeing that Cheng Yi refused to speak, Shen Wenchang said, "Your sister-in-law and the princess are good friends in the boudoir, maybe we can all sit down and explain it together."

"No." Cheng Yi stood up excitedly. If the princess knew about it, she couldn't guarantee whether the princess would go to the prince to argue with her. Even if she didn't, the princess would be ruined for life. What's more, the princess can bear this kind of grievance for a while, but how can she endure it for a lifetime, if one day the princess can't hold back and argues with the prince, the prince will never let her family go.

Shen Wenchang was surprised.

"Third brother, if you read it before you swore in the past, don't ask any more questions, and don't intervene in this matter anymore. If your sister-in-law confesses to the princess, she will force my whole family to death. Third brother, I don't want to drag people who have nothing to do with me Go into the water, but again, I have my own way to go. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving." Cheng Yi said and left quickly.

Shen Wenchang walked slowly to the window and pushed it open, a gust of cold wind came in, even if she wanted to help, Cheng Yi refused to tell the truth and was so resolute, it was really a dilemma.

On that side, Cheng Yi left the tavern, went back to the mansion, and wrote a note to Cheng En: "Find a way to send it to Uncle Yang's mansion, it's best to let his housekeeper find out, remember, don't reveal your identity."

"Yes, my lord." Cheng En folded the note and put it in his cuff, then turned and left the study.

"Zhang Ziliao, tonight is your death day." Cheng Yi looked at the direction of Cheng Enyuan
