Brocade clothing

Chapter 202
The sound of the witty remark made Chu Qing's dazed eyes clear, she sat up instantly, got off the bed in a hurry, and was about to pass on the clothes, but after taking two steps, she finally felt something was wrong, turned around suddenly, and found that she was lying on the bed. on the bed.The person who was supposed to be lying on it had long since disappeared.

Chu Qing's mind was muddled, and the voice outside was even more urgent. She quickly responded, and couldn't care less about when Li Tianxiao left and why she was on the bed. go up.Then he looked at the soft couch: what should I do with this?
She rubbed her face, pretended to be stupid, put on her clothes, opened the door, and saw that Qiao Yu had already filled the water outside, and when she was washing outside, she heard Qiao Yu exclaimed from inside: "Master, this soft How did the couch come here?"

Chu Qing hummed in a low voice: "I was afraid of falling, so I moved over to block it."

Qiao Yu probably would not have thought that Li Tianxiao would come here just to lie down and sleep in the courtier's house.

Qiao Yu didn't think much about it, and said while making the bed in the room: "I also think the bed is a bit small, how about you ask Uncle Zhou to make another bed today?"

Chu shook his head lightly: "No need, let's make do with it. When you get married, I may just rest in the government office, there is a specially prepared room there." She wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, the case of the government office There will only be more and more, she came back late, there is indeed a risk factor, and it is impossible to let Ying Yatou escort her every time, so what's the matter?

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then the witty words came out: "My lord, are you going to stay in the government office with those yamen servants?"

Chu smiled lightly: "What are you worried about? They don't have the guts yet, besides, there are others."

"But..." But the punch line just felt inappropriate.

It is true that the government office has a room specially prepared for Mr. Ti Xing, which is not bad, but the original Mr. Ti Xing is all men, so it's okay, but the young master is a woman.

But Chu Qing really didn't take it seriously, so the witty words had to be temporarily suppressed.

Chu Qing hurried to the court, but stood at the Highness, maybe it was because they were in the same room last night, Chu Qing didn't dare to raise her head to face Li Tianxiao, but most of the courtiers didn't dare to casually spy on the saint. Yan.After Chu Qing's morning court was over, she followed a few adults out of the palace, but Li Tianxiao didn't leave her behind.

On the contrary, Liu Guojiu praised her a few words because of the sharp increase in the number of reports yesterday, and asked her to behave well. Chu Qing's repeated impressions of well-behaved students should be in front of Liu Guojiu.

When she arrived outside the government office, she saw Ying Zhenxing waiting at the door, two majestic stone lions standing there, next to the gongs and drums beating drums to express grievances. Like a door god, it has a warning effect.The number of people who came to report today is obviously less than yesterday, but there are still quite a few. Because of the experience, the master bookkeeper set up a table early in the morning to record the details of the report. Because there is no rush yesterday, this time it will be more detailed.

Because there were Ying Zhenxing and a few yamen servants standing at the door, and no one disturbed them. They reported the case in a proper manner, and then went back to wait for the notification. The next one didn't talk too much, it was quite harmonious.

When everyone saw Chu Qing, the master stood up, Chu Qing raised her hand to let him sit down, and then walked into the mansion.

Ying Zhenxing followed her in, and his eyes fell on her frequently. Chu Qing noticed it, stopped, and looked back at him: "Yantou, is there a problem?"

Ying Zhenxing shook his head: "It's nothing, but after I went back last night, I thought about it and felt that the man was staying in the carriage. I should go and see if it was a villain first. If the other party didn't show up, what if the villain pretended to be a villain?" The acquaintance of the lord committed the crime, and the subordinates were worried all night, and when they saw that the lord was fine, the subordinates felt at ease."

Chu Qing couldn't help but smiled: "Don't worry, Ying Yatou, I'm fine, that is, I've been busy these few days, and after this busy period, I will go back early, or you can find someone to clear the backyard of the government office. The room is cleaned up, I can rest in the government office."

Ying Zhenxing was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Then, that subordinate will be the guard of the Lord."

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "No need, I can handle it myself, let's not talk about this, are the complainants on the list I gave you last night?"

Ying Zhenxing said: "It's already here, just need to be summoned."

Chu Qing responded: "After the master book is finished recording, you can go directly to the hall." Chu Qing couldn't help but wondered as he walked, should he specially recruit a scholar who will record the report, because the master book needs to record the dossier every time he is promoted , so it is a bit overkill.However, this point was temporarily suppressed by Chu Qing, as long as everything was on track, then she would naturally plan the entire Ti Xing Mansion and come up with a more proper management plan.

Half an hour later, Chu Qing began to be promoted to the court. This was the first time she was promoted to the court in a serious manner after being sentenced.

Although Meng Da's case was big, it was too big. After she submitted the evidence, Meng Da was directly sent to the prison of Dali Temple. After the final review, it was also directly handled by Dali Temple.Chu Qing also didn't have the idea of ​​taking credit, but thought it would be easier to do so, and was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

With a sound of "mighty", Chu Qing stepped into the lobby. After sitting down, she slapped the gavel, and the reporter and the defendant knelt on the ground. There were four people in total. The four people were two reporters and one defendant. People, and a dead body.The corpse was a child of seven or eight years old. It was covered with a white cloth. It had been dead for two days. Because the corpse was found in the water, it had been soaked for a long time and it was beyond recognition. The time of death was also written within two days.

This child is the son of the informant, named Zhao Dabao, who is eight years old this year. The informant is a pair of traders who sell some small chaos on weekdays. He is near his home and doesn’t spend much time at home, so he got rid of his neighbor Aunt Zhang to take care of him. The night before yesterday, when the Zhao couple closed the stall and came back to pick up the child from Aunt Zhang's house, Aunt Zhang told them that the child was not with them, and she hadn't seen it all afternoon.At first, I thought that Zhao Dabao had gone to find the couple, so he didn't take it seriously, but it turned out that the two families were like an explosion, so they started to search everywhere, but they couldn't find it all night. .

At first, it was fine, but the next day, a child’s body was found in a well not far away. The child was also seven or eight years old, but because he had soaked for a long time, his face seemed to be covered with something. It’s smashed, the wound can’t be seen clearly after soaking, and now it’s just right, the Zhao couple almost went crazy, but after asking around, a neighbor said that they saw Zhao Dabao entering the old man Tao’s house in the afternoon home.This old man Tao is the defendant. He is a bachelor. He has never married a wife. As soon as he heard it, he was sure that the old man Tao had killed the child. He was definitely mentally twisted and couldn't see them well, so he turned him over and reported the crime.

Chu Qing flipped through the dossier, then looked at the autopsy list, her eyes swept over the four people in the hall, the Zhao couple wiped their tears, obviously very sad, they are just such a baby, if they are not busy on weekdays, It's not like people are looking after them, but now they are being sent to black-haired people by white-haired people.Chu Qing's gaze fell on the silent old man again. He was wearing a white coat with many patches on it. It was obvious that he was having a bad time. Chu Qing patted the gavel: " Tao old man, can you plead guilty?"

The old man Tao was getting old, he lowered his head, raised his head slowly after a long time, his chaotic eyes fell on Chu Qing, and then shook his head quickly: "Reporting to my lord, the old man has never seen Zhao Dabao, and he is not harmful."

"You're lying!" Zhao Shi was so angry that she was about to step forward and beat old man Tao, but was knocked a few times by the yamen servant with a wooden stick, and she suddenly didn't dare to move.

Chu Qing patted the gavel again: "Quiet!"

Her sharp eyes swept over old man Tao, met his eyes, stared closely for a while, and found that the other party did not dodge at all, his movements were very slow, his eyes were chaotic, but he was not malicious or panicked, and the breath around him gave people A dead silence, that feeling of wanting nothing so nothing matters.

Chu Qing squinted, if the other party wasn't really good at disguising, then his behavior really didn't look like a murderous person.

Chu Qing turned to look at the yamen servant: "Bring witnesses up."

The yamen servant immediately brought Aunt Zhang and the neighbor man who saw Zhao Dabao enter the old man Tao's house, and brought them up. Chu Qing walked down from the lobby and stood in front of the neighbor man who was kneeling on the ground, looking down at him, Dressed in an official robe, she was facing a plaque with "Mirror Hanging High" behind her, which had a deterrent effect. She squinted her eyes and said to the man next door: "You just raise your head and look at me."

The man next door trembled. It was obviously the first time he saw an official. He raised his head tremblingly, but when he saw Chu Qing's handsome face, he was taken aback. Then he thought of the identity of Chu Qing's woman, and couldn't help it. I thought: This grown-up is really good-looking.

Chu slightly squinted his eyes: "Everything you say now will become evidence. If you let me know that you are lying, then you will go to jail."

The neighbor man was taken aback, and responded again and again: "Yes, yes, the little one knows."

Chu Qing asked, "When did you see Zhao Dabao enter Old Man Tao's house?"

The neighbor man thought for a while and said: "Probably... Yinshi, when I was rushing to send the baby to school, and when I left with the crying baby, I saw Zhao Dabao sneaking into the old man Tao's house. "
