Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

According to the laws of the Great Xia, all court officials of the third rank and above are exempted from marrying their regular wives one day early, and because the marriage was bestowed by the Holy Spirit, they are exempted from early court for three days to prepare for the marriage. For a long time, accidents may occur any day during this period, and the husband's family needs to deal with them as soon as possible.

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to disturb Qu Quan for a long time, and they tried their best to deal with what they could handle by themselves. If they couldn't handle it by themselves, they sent it to Cui Shilang, the second in command of the Ministry of Punishment. If Cui Shilang couldn't solve it, then let him Just touch your nose with ashes.And Cui Shilang is not a fool. When encountering something that even he can't make a decision on, he convenes a meeting of officials from the Ministry of Punishment to discuss it. Everyone votes to make a decision.

For nearly a month, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment have been in dire straits, and they are even more worried than when Qu Quan was there.As for Qu Quan, who was idle in Shangshu's mansion, she was so bored that she was about to go moldy. It was the first time she took such a long vacation since she became an official, and it was really hard to bear.

Qu Quan was sitting under the flower corridor bored, with slightly bent fingers resting his chin, making the smoky purple sleeves look more radiant.There is a sapphire horn on the stone table, which contains some light red wine, and the delicate fragrance penetrates into the nose and reaches the heart and spleen.At that time, the spring breeze was warm and the flowers were blooming like a dream. She looked at a blue willow in the distance, and heard the yellow warbler singing in her ears, and unconsciously fell asleep.The breeze passed through the flower corridor and brought up a rain of flowers, the powder petals fluttered and fell, and the wine in the cup was filled with hosta powder, and it was scattered all over Qu Quan's body for a while.

The flowers fall on the shoulders without feeling it, and the drunken pillow is sleeping soundly.

When Ling Xueji came to Xiaohua Hall, what he saw was such a scene.

She quietly walked behind Qu Quan, and saw that the man was asleep with his eyes closed, and a large rain of flowers fell on his body. He didn't look like a cruel and fearful Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but like a man living in a boudoir. A beautiful woman with both talents and looks.

Ling Xueji moved slightly in his mind, quietly stretched out a finger, and carefully poked Qu Quan's reddish face——

"Hmm..." Qu Quan murmured unknowingly in his dream, startled Ling Xueji took three steps back for fear that Qu Quan would discover his childish behavior.Fortunately, after Qu Quan murmured, there was no more movement, and he seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Ling Xueji didn't dare to act recklessly this time, so she sat down opposite Qu Quan and looked at her imitatively.I can't help wondering, what's wrong with this dog official?Even the princess wants to marry her.

"Your Excellency! Cui Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, please see me!!"

A thunderous shout directly pulled Qu Shangshu out of the dream, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pretty face staring at her dumbfounded, and she couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.

"My lord! My lord, Cui, the servant of the criminal department...er..." The butler of the Shangshu Mansion rushed into the flower hall in a hurry, and seeing his lord and his wife looking at each other, he immediately felt that he had committed a heinous and unforgivable crime, and fell limp on the floor with a plop. He couldn't stop shivering.

Qu Quan and Ling Xueji looked away for a moment when he came in. At this time, they found that the housekeeper's expression of seeing something he shouldn't see and knowing that he deserved to die was very speechless. Qu Quan raised his forehead and said, "Don't think about it. Come on, tell me what Cui Jian wants from me?"

"My lord, Cui Shilang said that a homicide occurred in Guangde Square, the capital, please go to the scene personally!" The butler told Qu Quan concisely, regardless of the sweat on his face.

"Prepare the sedan chair." Qu Quan didn't hesitate for a moment, got up and walked out quickly after saying a word.

The butler turned around and saluted Ling Xueji, then hurriedly followed him out.

Ling Xueji pouted a little helplessly, she was obviously here to ask someone to eat, so she was the only one left.He was walking towards Xiyuan with his head down, and as soon as he went out, he met Jiji who was carrying a food box.

Seeing Madam's collection, she smiled and blessed, and said: "Madam, forgive me, I heard that Madam was at the old matriarch's place earlier, thinking that the old matriarch would definitely keep Madam for dinner, so I only asked the small kitchen to prepare adults Ma'am, wait for a moment, I'll go add some more food." Yan Luo was about to leave, but Ling Xueji grabbed him.

"Oh, sister Jiji, don't bother, your lord just went out."

"Going out?" Ji Jinxiu frowned, and said in a moment: "If the madam doesn't dislike it, can you use the adult's meal?"

"Oh no, no, I'll have dinner with my grandmother~" Ling Xueji waved his hand, declining Jiji's kindness.

"Then I'll deliver the meal for your lord." After Ji Jin finished speaking, he gave Ling Xueji a blessing and was about to leave, but was held back by Ling Xueji again, and he couldn't help but wondered: "Madam, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Eh..." Ling Xueji scratched his head, wanted to ask questions but was afraid of delaying the delivery time of Jijin, so he dragged Jiji towards the gate and asked, "Does your lord often go out to do business without eating like today?" ?”

Ji Ji smiled and replied: "That's natural. Otherwise, how could someone as filial as your lord not accompany the old lady to have dinner? Not only that, but even when your lord takes a bath at night, if there is an urgent business, he will deal with it immediately."

Ling Xueji was surprised, "Isn't she the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Aren't high-ranking officials just sitting there doing nothing and waiting to get credit for it——I'm sorry, I..."

"Haha Madam, there is no need to blame yourself. Who in the world doesn't think so." Ji Ji shook his head helplessly, "Actually Madam is not wrong. Most of the high-ranking officials are as Madam said, but our adults are different."

"What's the difference? My grandmother said that my lord is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who passed the examination for the No. [-] Scholar." Ling Xueji scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Pfft." Ji Jin covered his lips with a smile and said, "It's not such an easy thing." Looking at the glazed tiles stacked on the high wall in the distance, he said slowly: "My lord, after being the number one scholar in high school, he was only awarded a small award. A small official under the hall, he worked hard all the way to become the servant of the Ministry of punishment. Although we don't know what your lord has gone through in the court, we can guess this promotion by seeing how emaciated your lord is. The road will not be easy."

"After being promoted to the Minister of Criminal Affairs, my lord worked at the desk day and night. In just one month, I read thousands of cases. I also found out a case that had never been brought to light from the cases sent by Yushitai for review. In order to find out the truth, my lord spent three days. The old clothes are not taken off, and finally the old case has been brought to light, and your lord is famous all over the capital because of this case."

"Last year, a case of Concubine Shu that shocked the government and the public involved the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice. His Majesty bestowed a glass of poisoned wine on his favorite Concubine Shu to death. Some grown-ups were saved. Because—”

"That case was discovered by the adults."
