Taohuaxi

Chapter 73: Suing for Robbery
There are pieces of fallen flowers on the grain path.

Fuyun Hsinchu Lili.

The soft clouds reflected the begonia red wedding dress on my body. Everyone looked at me, and I suddenly didn't know what to say.

My dad thought it was appropriate.

Zhu Xifeng thought it was appropriate.

Hua Lian thought it was appropriate.

Now, Feng Gao also thinks it is appropriate.

They all thought it was appropriate.

A middle-aged man's family will not marry another wife.Qin Mingxu's promise of "Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Phoenix Crown and Xia Pei" is definitely sincere to me.Everyone present understands.I understand too.

Qin Mingxu's love was passionate from beginning to end, like a pot of fire.

I walked out of a violent storm, soaked to the skin, and passively moved closer to the brazier.But, instinctively, he didn't dare to get too close.

I may have always been a too sober person.

I think too much, worry too much, and dare not fully open my heart.

Alone because of sobriety.

Before I could say anything, Hua Lian came running from afar, his shoes covered with mud.Zhu Xifeng hurriedly approached and said: "Damn girl, didn't you follow your sister's sedan chair? Why are you here now? I thought you were kidnapped by bandits and made a slave girl! Oh, no, just With your beauty, the best you can do is to be a fire girl for the bandits!"

If it were the past, Hua Lian would definitely beat him.

But today, Hua Lian didn’t.She walked to me in a daze and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

I thought she was shocked by what happened just now, so I comforted her: "Hua Lian, don't be afraid, it's okay."

She lowered her head and kept muttering: "As long as everything is fine for my boss, it will be fine, as long as everything is fine for my boss..."

Someone came from Tiansheng Tower and said something happened to the cabinet.

Qin Mingxu hurriedly followed him.

I took Feng Gao, Zhu Xifeng and Hua Lian back to Zhu Mansion.

I placed Feng Gao in the warm pavilion in the main courtyard.

Although he tried his best to hide it from me and pretended to be calm, I could see that he was seriously injured.The moment I got off the horse, it was very difficult.

He endured injuries all over his body and rode for several days. He was exhausted and fell down on the bed in the Nuan Pavilion. He said, "Sister, I'm going to rest for a while. I have some errands to do when I come to Yangzhou this time." Then he went to sleep.

I ordered the boy to grab some medicine for trauma.

After grabbing the medicine, I thought for a while, sat by the couch, reached out to unbutton his clothes, and he suddenly held my hand in his sleep.

He is a man who is always on alert.Even when sleeping, he is always on guard.There is never any sense of security.

I called out softly: "Douya, don't be afraid, it's my sister."

His hands slowly loosened.

When he wakes up or in his dream, he is not on guard against his sister.

I unbuttoned his clothes.The injuries on his body were much worse than on his face.Not half a piece of good flesh.New wounds pile up on top of old wounds.

I turned my head and cried.

After a while, I sprinkled the medicinal powder on him carefully.

He frowned slightly and murmured vaguely: "Sister, it hurts."

At this moment, he is no longer the governor of Dongchang and the prestigious captain of the imperial court. He is just a wanderer in the acrobatic class of Dongchang Prefecture, a frail little bean sprout, the one who is full of fear on the high lion dance stand. children.

I coaxed him like a baby: "It won't hurt soon."

He calmed down and slept soundly.

I was in the Nuan Pavilion and didn't come out until noon.Hua Lian is waiting for me under the eaves.She had come to her senses and looked as usual.

I looked at her and asked: "Hua Lian, where did you go on the way to the sedan chair?"

She rubbed her hands together and didn't answer.

I said, "Hua Lian, you always speak straightforwardly. No matter what you have to do, you don't have to hide it from me."

She hesitated for a while and said: "My boss, I... saw an acquaintance just now."

"What acquaintance?"

"...People from our village."

"People in your village have surrendered to bandits? Are they your relatives?"

"……Yes."

I said: "That's it, no wonder your feet are covered in mud when you run away. According to me, everyone has his own choice and his own way of living. Whether he is a citizen or a bandit, I think this person has no choice but to do it." The difficulties. There is a saying in "Water Margin", which is called being forced to go to the end of the mountain. You don't have to worry about it. "

"My boss is right."

The clerk at the counter came to the house and said that several businessmen from out of town were here to discuss business.

After hearing this, Zhu Xifeng was eager to try it and said, "Sister, let me try it."

"Are you okay?"

He slapped his chest: "After all, I am also a man of the Zhu family. My sister should let me experience it."

I pondered for a while and said: "Hua Lian, you can follow Xifeng. With you watching, I can rest assured."

"Yes."

Hua Lian said to Zhu Xifeng: "Young Master, please be more careful."

"Don't underestimate me!" Zhu Xifeng stared at Hua Lian and said unconvinced.

The two went one after the other.Feng Gao slept until midnight before waking up.

I served the broth and fried cakes and he devoured them.

I asked: "Douya, what's the errand you have here this time?"

"When we arrived in Tatar from the north, we didn't have enough military pay. We want to investigate the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. Sister, I have to be busy with official duties."

He got up and found that there was medicine on his body, and said, "Sister, who did you ask to give me the medicine?"

"Myself. I don't trust others."

His face turned red, he seemed happy but not happy, seemed annoyed but not angry, and felt uneasy.

"Thank you... thank you... thank you for your hard work, sister."

He got up and walked away in panic.

I said: "You walk slowly, and when you come back after finishing your errands, we can go to Qingyue Pavilion to eat meat rice dumplings together."

The sun sets little by little.

Shu Yun's remaining shadow.

The boy outside the door came in and reported: Someone from the Qin Mansion came to pay a visit.

I ordered him to come in.

The person who came was actually the short and capable servant who released the smoke in the morning.He seems to be a very capable person under Qin Mingxu.

"New Madam, something bad has happened. Something happened to our boss!"

After hearing this, I no longer had the intention to argue with his address to me, so I quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

He said: "At that time, the servants of the government went to the cabinet to report the matter to the owner. When the owner went there, they found out that it was Uncle Zheng Guo who was responsible. Uncle Zheng is now bitten to death. It was the owner who snatched the bride. According to the "Ming Dynasty Law", if you want to Sue the employer. The sedan chair stopped at the Qin Mansion. Uncle Zheng found a witness and his statement was conclusive. The employer could not defend himself..."

If it were Zheng Tai in the past, he would definitely have his servants chase him directly to the Qin Mansion, so why would he care about the king's law?
Now, he restrained himself and went to sue the officials.

This matter was indeed difficult to explain clearly, which allowed Zheng Tai to take advantage of it.

How to be good?

As I stepped on the moss in the yard, many scenes came to mind.

"As long as I have it, as long as you need it." On the counter of Cheng's house, he held a lot of banknotes to send to my debt collector.

Cheng Huaishi and I went to Qin's house for a banquet. He made explicit hints and said, "We will not be able to meet each other in the future due to the high mountains and high roads. I only hope that you will cherish everything, have no pain in your body, no disease in your feet, get what you want, and be safe all your life." .”

During the Lantern Festival, he and I stood at the entrance of the alley, and a big firework exploded in the sky. He said, "Sang Yu, you are the most considerate if you take good care of yourself."

When he accompanied me to Dali Temple to explore Chenghuai, in the rain, he said: "Thank you very much, Sangyu, we have been able to cross the same boat after ten years of cultivation. We got to know each other on the boat."

Wang Yuzhen's poison was thrown towards him, and he rushed over with a shout: "Sang Yu, be careful!"

……

If Cheng Huaishi has always been the person I look up to, Qin Mingxu has always been the person standing beside me with a smile, allowing me to look straight at him.

His expressions of joy and anger, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, were filled with the most common fireworks in the world of mortals.

Born into a wealthy family, he is unruly and has been frivolous for most of his life. His waiting is the most sincere thing he can give.

After ten years of cultivation, they can cross the boat together, and after a hundred years of cultivation, they can sleep together.

How many years have Qin Mingxu and I cultivated in our past and present lives?
Zheng Tai's complaint was like a hurricane, which blew the boat I was on to the end.

After thinking over and over again, I made a decision.

I followed the servant to the Yamen.

Every step was taken slowly and heavily.

Zheng Tai stood in the courtroom, aggressive.

There were officials sitting in the hall.

Kneeling on the ground was the witness, Qin Mingxu.

Qin Mingxu saw me and scolded the servant: "Who asked you to tell Boss Zhu!"

The servant hurriedly knelt down.

Qin Mingxu said: "Sang Yu, it's none of your business. You should go back quickly."

I walked forward directly. Since I had the title of Country Lord, I didn't have to kneel before the official.

"Excuse me, Sir, what is the plaintiff's complaint?"

The official said: "The plaintiff, Lord Zheng, sued Qin Mingxu for snatching his bride. But is it true?"

Zheng Tai and I share the same title.Officials do not want to offend anyone, so they intend to act impartially and according to the facts.

"What is bride snatching?" I asked.

"Robbing other people's wives and concubines is a form of marriage robbery."

"Then it's Zheng Tai who steals the bride." I said in a deep voice.

Everyone present was shocked.

Zheng Tai became angry and said: "Zhu Sangyu, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The official cleared his throat and said: "However, I have found out that Lord Yidexiang...does not have a husband. You volunteered to get on the sedan chair."

I raised my voice and said: "I got on the sedan chair, but I planned to have someone carry the sedan chair to Qin's house. Because -"

I paused, pointed at Qin Mingxu, and said, "Because Mr. Qin and I are already married!"

With one word, Shi Potian was shocked.
