Yizhi arrives

Chapter 7

That night, a yamen servant came to check the household registration.

Every legal citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be assigned a government-specific identity dog ​​tag from birth, called Yuanmu.The wood is ordinary wood, but each piece is soaked in a special juice, and then distributed to the state capitals to carve by themselves. Only the emperor and the person who prepared the secret recipe know the secret recipe, so it is easy to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Honest people will hang this dog tag around their necks or store it in a cabinet. This thing may not be used for a lifetime, but it is inevitable that there will be a contingency, such as checking Yuanmu when entering customs or entering a big city. You can’t get it. If you come out, the officials will treat you like a gangster or something, that's not good.

Dishonest people can also use this identity card to make a fuss, such as human trafficking or deception.Since this sign only writes your name, gender, horoscope of birth and household registration, which official has the ability to imagine the face of any ordinary person with just a name?
It's up to me whether Ji Yue's ability is great or not, but even if he doesn't have the ability to go to the government to get two yuan wood, the streets are full of people, with his superb martial arts, he can always steal it.So when the yamen servants asked me and Ah Piao for a sign, I replied to them very calmly: "You two officials, our yuan wood is kept in the room, please wait here for a while."

In the palm-sized place of Luyi City, Ji Yue's little boy, who attracts women's love, will not be liked by the same sex who is not as good as him, unless there are some men with special hobbies.So these two yamen servants in front of me held a mentality of hating witches and witches, and spoke to me in a very unfriendly tone, "I still have more than 100 households that have not escaped, and all of them are as ink-stained as you, how can they sleep?!"

I slandered, I said, brother, if you have the time to complain to me, you might as well let me in to get the sign, right?But the mouth is full of flattery: "The official is handsome and mighty, so it's hard to get you for such a small matter?" And, following Ji Yue's fine tradition of doing good to strangers and doing evil to his own family, I took out a few copper coin plugs from my sleeve To the hands of those two people, put out the fire for them.

The effect was immediate, and one of them sent me away with a smile, "You're still a sensible girl."

The world is hot and cold, but Qian is the only one.

Ah Piao clung to my back like a follower and followed into my house, causing goosebumps on my back. When I got to a place where the yamen servants couldn't see, I immediately pushed her away and said in disgust: " What do you want?"

"Sister!" Ah Piao earnestly called me first, and I shivered all over, feeling cold.She probably also knew that her voice was too hypocritical, sighed, and told me the truth: "I was kicked out of the house by my uncle at the time, and I didn't have many clothes, Yuanmu was still in my dressing table..."

Oh, no Motoki.

I thought it was a big deal.

Then I asked her, "Do you want yourself to be 13 or not?"

She listened to my question and didn't know what she was struggling with. She hesitated for a long time without making a clear decision. She was obviously a person with selective syndrome.So I went into the house and took out a piece of Yuanmu for A Piao, who was not 13 years old, but 12 years old, and I took the piece with my name on it, which obviously couldn't be real.Ji Yue picked me up before, how could I bring a piece of Yuanmu with me.

A Piao blinked her eyes three times, as if she was a little distracted, and she took it slowly. I was called sister a few times by her, so I should remind her: "You are fake. If you are 13 years old, I am afraid that you will still be a little bit older." You have to check it carefully, and then you will be unable to argue." What's more, what's so good about the palace?To enter is to bury your whole life in it. How many years can the emperor, a five or sixty-year-old man, have to live?Why bother to seek death.

"Thank you, sister." Ah Piao lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face, but I heard her tone was not happy or excited.I also sighed in my heart, the little girl is really hard to understand now.

I thought nothing would happen, but when Ah Piao and I handed over Yuanmu to the two yamen servants, something happened.

The one holding my dog ​​tag was a tall, expressionless man.

Ji Yue prepared for me a lot of pieces of Yuanmu in the years of Renchen, Guisi, and Jiawu, etc., which were similar to my age, and some of them were compiled according to the three characters "Song Xiaomi". It can be deduced that my master's ability is really amazing!And the 12-year-old one in Renchen was probably stolen from someone else. The name is very earthy, Wang Cuihua, and the wooden sign has a rough edge and a strange color.

The turning point of the story was the short yamen servant holding A Piao's dog tag. He took the Yuanmu from A Piao's hand, raised his eyebrows at the first glance, and said "huh?", slightly surprised.Then he made two more "tsk tsk", thought for a while, and finally poked the tall man opposite me with his elbow.

"Old Wang, isn't this the Yuanmu of your daughter who has been dead for several years?"

"..."

What a big thunder!
I was so startled that I trembled wildly, almost went into a seizure, and my heart was filled with hot blood, which blocked the entire atrium, directly causing difficulty in breathing and dizziness.

The tall old Wang still had no expression on his face, he seemed to be paralyzed, so he glanced at Yuanmu, and his eyes, sharp enough to kill thousands of horses, shot straight at me and Ah Piao.Ah Piao had never encountered such a thing before, she just hid behind me and grabbed the back of my clothes in a daze.

"It is indeed the Yuanmu of my Cuihuaer." He said firmly.

"You two officials, there must be some misunderstanding here..." I tried to take Yuanmu back and destroy the corpse first.

But the yamen servant surnamed Wang didn't give me this chance, he grabbed my outstretched hand suddenly, it was a grappling technique, and bound my arm back to my back, I subconsciously wanted to play the tricks Ji Yue taught me I made a move, I changed my mind and let him catch me.

I only heard Wang Yamen say: "You are hiding my daughter Yuanmu and doing things like stealing chickens and dogs. It is true that my daughter has a spirit in the sky, so that the sky net will be restored and not leaked. Don't come with me to see the magistrate of the county!" In his few generous speeches, A Piao was also tied up.

……

It was only later that I found out that Uncle Wang suffered from facial paralysis due to his grief over the death of his beloved daughter Cuihua.When I encountered such a thing, it was more tragic than being hit by a broom star in the sky!

■

Green City is very small, and I just knelt in front of the magistrate's official case when I snatched two young girls from Boss Ji's shop, and everyone knows about it.That's right, back then the women in Luyi City were jealous that I could live under the same roof as Ji Yue, but now that I've been arrested, all the people watching and hearing outside the courtroom are women.

Fat Zhixian came out of the back hall in a hurry, with an aggrieved expression on his face, maybe I interrupted his good business, he stood there for a while, I was wondering, and walked out from behind the cloth curtain in the back hall Come alone.The golden cassock instantly confused my eyes!
"Monk serves Lord Yushi, please make the decision for the villain!"

The words I blurted out obviously made the magistrate very unhappy. He slapped the gavel loudly, and roared at me again: "Bold and unreasonable, do you still take this official seriously?" ?!"

The implication couldn't be more obvious, if you don't call my parents the master, you call a monk the master, and I'm not competent to co-author? !

I weighed the pros and cons, and had no choice but to retract my neck, "Master Zhixian, the villain is wronged!"

The magistrate ignored me at all, raised his head and asked the two yamen servants first: "What's going on?"

The short yamen servant told the story of what happened at the gate of the Yushi shop, emphasizing: "My lord, we have evidence that these two little girls are not good citizens!"

"What evidence?"

With his left hand, he took out from the sleeve of his right hand the few grains of money I gave them at that time!Pointing at me, he said: "My lord, this is the money she wanted to bribe me and Lao Wang. The villain wanted to go back to the Yamen and hand it over to the adults, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid as to use the money of the old Wang's dead daughter. Don't lie to people!"

I really want to spit all my blood on this yamen servant's face!A slap on the ground can kick up a few wisps of dust, and he said angrily: "When you collected the money, you still told me not to let the fat magistrate know about it! It's really two-sided!"

Fat Zhixian raised his voice "huh?", he hated people saying he was fat the most in his life, this is something that everyone in Luyicheng knows.These officials in the yamen are used to savagery, and when they heard me slandering them, they cursed and wanted to kick me, but at the critical moment, they still uttered like nothing: "In the court, use the law as a rope to punish people, you What is this for?" Between the lines, the words were solemn and colorful.

Someone outside the courtroom had already rushed in front of me and applauded. My bright eyes were fixed on Rukong who was speaking for me. Rukong's handsome face didn't change at all. He was a kind-hearted, lifelike little Bodhisattva.

In the end, the official rank crushed people to death, the yamen servants did not dare to act presumptuously, and Fat Zhixian also apologized, "Master Rukong, you don't know that some unruly people can't reason."

Rukong took advantage of the situation and educated Fat Zhixian, "The magistrate is born from the heart. If you don't have the heart to love the people, you may not be able to take on the role of parents and officials." It is to take off his black hat directly!I suddenly felt that Rukong is not a good talker. Ji Yue has always taught me not to be too serious in everything. Whoever is serious will lose. Now it seems that if Ji Yue and Rukong meet on a narrow road, I am afraid it will be a battle of life and death...

At this moment, Fat Zhixian finally asked me: "The two of you in the hall, do you have any excuses?"

Ah Piao was very clever when he was parting, but when it was so important at this moment, his tongue seemed to be tied up, sobbing and only looking at me for help.I blurted out: "The villain is wronged. This matter has nothing to do with the villain. My master and I came here half a year ago to open a jade store. The neighbors around me recognize my master and me. My name is Song Xiaomi. 12 years old! If adults don't believe it, you can ask those beautiful sisters outside the hall on the spot!" Shamelessly turning his head, his eyes cast a net in the crowd, except for women, there was no sign of Ji Yue at all.

Earlier, there was a woman who applauded Rukong, but now she immediately responded: "Minister testifies, everything this girl said is true. My lord, I have a very good relationship with Boss Ji in private, and I am very concerned about the situation of their masters and apprentices." Understood!" All the girls cheered, so go ahead and blow it.

"Then who is she?" Zhixian asked me, pointing at A Piao.

I said briskly: "The little man doesn't know her details, he just takes her in for a few days because she is pitiful and homeless. As for why she is holding Yuanmu, the dead daughter of the king's servant, the little man really doesn't know." , please learn from me, my lord!"

A Piao's big eyes suddenly turned from deer's eyes to buffalo's eyes, I glanced at A Piao's face, I was really worried that the girl's eyes would roll out of the eye sockets like that.That's a real disability!
The gavel made another "pop", and the magistrate threatened A Piao: "Bold and cunning... girl, don't invite me for real."

Ah Piao's face was wrinkled, and she told everyone the story of herself from the Ningrong Alley in Qiri City. When talking about Yuanmu, she said: "The villain was kicked out of the house by his uncle, and he doesn't have Yuanmu on his body." , it was inconvenient to come to Luyi City to seek refuge with relatives, so I spent money to buy this piece of Yuanmu on the black market. That thing surprised me.

This is revenge with virtue, right?

Very ashamed.

Fat Zhixian touched his chin, thoughtful.He belongs to the generation of thunder and rain, he is fierce when he is fierce, but he is not a cruel official, and A Piao and I are both young girls, so it is expected that he will not impose any serious punishment.In addition, Rukong's shining golden Buddha is in front of him, so he can't tarnish his image anymore.

"Since that's the case, I will send someone to the Seventh City to find out your details. If everything is true, I will let you go free." He said to A Piao, then turned his head to look at me, and pointed at my nose condescendingly, " As for you...you are a thief, you have nine twists and turns in your stomach, and you are in custody together." He threw my yuan wood to one of his subordinates and ordered, "according to the household registration on her yuan wood, go and look it up .”

...thief-eyed mouse-eyed...

I deeply thought that there must be some unpleasant past between Fat Zhixian and Ji Yue.

They really wanted to investigate, but there was probably no such person, so I went back and searched around outside the courtroom, but I still couldn't see Ji Yue, and I suddenly felt ashamed.Looking up at the court again, I happened to meet Master Rukong's gaze, his benevolent brows seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes lingered on my face for a while, and then looked away without a trace.Fat Zhixian turned his head to ask him what he meant, Rukong shook his head, and didn't intend to say anything more.
