marriage order

Chapter 9 Bail
Nanshan tried hard to wake up many times, but his mind was still a mess.She sat on the ground dizzy, feeling the cool and damp wind in the morning, before she could figure out what was going on, two nuns rushed over and carried her back to the house.

And Pei Qu was being led to the middle hall by the servant of Shen's house at this time.

Before he went to the outhouse to have tea earlier, the servant said he would tie the horse for him, but he refused to hand it over to the servant, saying that the horse was not gelding and had a bad temper, so he asked the servant to lead him to the stable.

It was not easy for the servant to refuse him, and without thinking too much, he led him to the stable.Pei Qu tied the horse himself, and when he tied the horse, he glanced at all the horses in the stable one by one, and he immediately understood.

The horse he gave to Nanshan was eating the food in the manger with its head bowed in the corner.

Nanshan is here.

He was about to leave when suddenly another servant came rushing to lead a horse from the east and was about to leave.Pei Qu looked at the horse carefully, and slightly pursed the corner of his lower lip.The saddle of this horse is a bit special, it is different from the saddles on other horses raised in the mansion, it probably belonged to a visitor from the mansion.

And now that the servant is taking the horse away, it means that the guest is leaving.

Pei Qu paid more attention to the appearance of the horse, and then he followed the servant back to the outer house for tea as if nothing had happened.

The hospitable Shen Fengge even thoughtfully ordered someone to cook cold-dispelling soup for him, fearing that he would catch the wind and cold after traveling all the way in the rain.

Pei Qu readily accepted, drank the bowl of dispelling cold soup, and then followed the servant to the middle hall.

Today is a ten-day holiday, and the regular officers do not have to go to court, and all the yamen are resting except for the on-duty officials, and the rain that has been lingering for a long time has finally stopped, making this day particularly leisurely and comfortable.

And Shen Fengge was enjoying his breakfast leisurely in the hall at this time, although it is not very extravagant, but the table full of dishes cannot be said to be frugal.Carp products, fish soup, crisp cakes, milk porridge, etc., the portion is not much, but it is very rich.

Shen Fengge put down the tableware, invited Pei Qu to take a seat, and said: "Today is a ten-day break, but Pei Shaofu came to the door early in the morning, but came to find someone?"

Shen Fengge went straight to the point, picking out Pei Qu's reason for coming, but in fact telling Pei Qu: I expected you to come here, and I also know the reason why you came here to find someone.

He readily showed his hole cards, and Pei Qu stopped beating around the bush.

"Pei took in a student earlier, and the student's wet nurse had an accident the day before yesterday. I didn't expect that this student also lost contact. Pei has searched everywhere, but still to no avail. This morning Remembering that someone told Pei that he saw that student at the gate of your mansion yesterday morning, Pei came over to take a look. If there is any trouble, I will also look to Master Shen Haihan."

Pei Qu successfully sold Xu Miaowen.In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's sold or not, he knew that Shen Fengge must have set up his eyes and ears in Dali Temple, so Xu Miaowen asked him to go to Dali Temple, it can't be an unspeakable secret.It's just that Xu Miaowen had an "old Kuang man" on the left that day and an "old Kuang man" on the right. If these words were relayed to Shen Fengge...

"Don't bother me." Shen Fengge's face remained expressionless, "The new official of Shaofu Pei took office, and he went to the country and away from home for many years, and the Wannian governance area has changed a lot in these years. Today is a ten-day holiday, and the weather is inconvenient When traveling, all officials, big and small, should be at home, so it’s good for you to move around more.”

He thoughtfully paved a very easy step for Pei Qu, and put on a kind gesture, but then asked again: "It's just that your student may be the southern media official of the official media office of Chang'an County?"

"Exactly."

Shen Fengge is not dissatisfied with anything else, except for the word "student".Although there was no expression on his face, his voice still betrayed him.

He asked a little bluntly: "Student? I wonder what Pei Shaofu taught her?"

"Pei is not talented, so I can only teach her how to play blindfold chess."

In fact, he didn't teach... Thinking about it this way, he is really useless as a teacher.

"Oh, blind chess." Shen Fengge picked up his chopsticks again and ate a mouthful of fish fillet, "Is it Go blind chess? That's very difficult."

He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. He seemed to have lost interest in the food in front of him. He leaned on the table and said calmly: "The Southern media official did come yesterday. She asked me for help, but she passed out due to the cold. In the mansion, the steward left her to stay for a day, and she is currently resting in the guest house."

"My little apprentice is bothering me a lot, Mr. Pei thanked Mr. Shen for her."

"No trouble. Southern media officials have been busy with my marriage a while ago. She is in poor health and can't travel in rainy days. It's okay to keep her for a day."

Shen Fengge pointed out that he was 35 years old and unmarried, and he was also one of the thousands of young men and women of the right age in this city, and now he was also troubled by the marriage order from the Holy Majesty, so he had enough acquaintance and communication with Nanshan. reason.

Pei Qu thanked him again, and said, "I wonder if Pei can take the apprentice back?"

Shen Fengge rejected him: "Don't bother Shaofu Pei."

Before Pei Qu opened his mouth, he gave an even more irresistible reason: "The southern media official is currently very weak, so he should not be able to ride a horse with Pei Shaofu, Shen will ask the servant to send her off in a sedan chair go back."

Shen Fengge almost won a duel, but Pei Qu did not gain nothing.He thought that since Shen Fengge was so hospitable, there was no need to brush off his "kindness", so he got up and said goodbye: "Tailor Shen, please continue to have breakfast, Pei will leave now."

He saluted neither humble nor overbearing, and when he turned around to face the gate, a damp cool breeze rushed in.

The sky gradually brightened, and a somewhat trance-like white light slowly spread from the horizon.The wind was strong and seemed to be able to blow away the dark clouds of the previous two days.Pei Qu stood at the corner of the corridor for a while, and did not leave until the servant beside him urged him.

After Nanshan was washed by a group of nuns, his mind was much clearer.After Shen Fengge opened the door for her, he didn't show up again, and he didn't fulfill his promise of "sending Nanshan back in a sedan chair". He only asked the servant to lead Nanshan's horse, and then let her go.

It's not that Shen Fengge is stingy, but that such kindness is neither in line with his style nor accepted by Nanshan.Nanshan was like a wild child in front of him, not a spoiled little flower in a garden, who needed careful care so that he would not wither.

She had grown up a long time ago, and she would stretch out her sharp claws at any time. Shen Fengge was aware of this, so he didn't treat her now like he treated her when he was a child.

He was sitting on the porch playing with a game of chess idly, the sound of the chess pieces falling on the board was as crisp as the copper bells under the porch eaves.He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and there was a subtle expression on his face that had been indifferent for many years. He felt that many things seemed to have become interesting.

Nanshan rode a horse all the way to Chang'an County, but unexpectedly bumped into her teacher at the door.Pei Qu was talking to the neighbor's lady, when he saw Nanshan coming, he turned sideways and looked up at her.

Nan Shan got off his horse, glanced at Pei Qu, and then at the neighbor's wife: "Why are Teacher and Madam here?"

The neighbor's wife hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty said that you can release Feng Niang!"

Hearing this, Nan Shan looked at Pei Qu, and Pei Channel said, "You came just in time." He said and handed the written statement to Nan Shan.

Nan Shan was taken aback, took a look at the letter, and immediately understood, glanced at the big drum at the gate of the county house: "Shall I beat it?"

"Feng Niang is your family, so I want you to go."

She was still a little confused at this time, probably because of her illness, she was not as smart as she usually looked.

Pei Qu really wanted to pat her on the head, but he still held his hand firmly, and said lightly, "Go quickly."

So Nanshan sounded the big drum of the county magistrate in a daze. She was very strong, and soon an officer on duty came out to ask what was the matter.

Nanshan handed over the written statement, and the official only glanced at it and understood what was going on, and said: "My lady, please wait here, I want to show this written statement to Du Shaofu."

Today is a ten-day rest, only the county lieutenant on duty is here.As soon as the drum beats, it must be accepted according to the law.As for how to deal with it, it depends on who is on duty.

Several county lieutenants can be set up in a county to take charge of various affairs, especially in Jing County, such as Chang'an County.However, there are also cases where vacancies are not filled. For example, in the current Wannian County, there is only one county lieutenant, Peiqu, and all other positions are vacant.

The Du County lieutenant on duty today has an upright temper and the least seniority in office, but he is the most stern and selfless.When Nanshan heard that it was Du Xianwei, he immediately regained his spirits.

Pei Qu noticed her changes, and asked softly behind her, "Are you in a hurry these two days?"

"Ah."

Everything is chaotic if you care about it, and as alert as Nanshan is no exception.Pei Qu could imagine her running around like a headless chicken, feeling a little pity for her, and a little bit disappointed.

When she felt difficult, she didn't inform him, nor did she think of asking him for help.

So he had to stand in front of her himself and let her know that he could ask for help.

But at this moment, Nan Shan had already put all his energy into self-care, and his thoughts became extremely sharp, and he seemed to be throwing his master aside again.She suddenly turned her head to look at Pei Qu: "Teacher, your essay is very beautiful."

Sure enough, it is a well-received literary talent and writing, even the stingy apprentice is willing to praise it.

"It's easy to do." Although the words were so modest and indifferent, the teacher was very happy at this moment.

While the three of them were waiting, Nanshan said again: "It is written in the 'Prison Officer's Order' that reducing old age and minor illnesses is not suitable for torture. Fengniang is not suitable for torture. If they dare to touch Fengniang, I will sue that dog step by step. official!"

"Appeals are too slow, and the Jingzhao Mansion may not accept them. Why not go directly to Yushitai? There can be more appeals."

Upon hearing Yushitai, Nanshan's eyes dimmed slightly.

What she was thinking was - this matter was directly related to Pei Liangchun, so it was not easy to tell Pei Qu; moreover, Shen Fengge directly rejected her request coldly, how could she go to Yushitai again?

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to Yushitai." Pei Qu said, "If they have already tortured, we can take Fengniang away today."

Nan Shan frowned.

Pei Qu went on to say: "If you don't accept the torture, you can release him on bail. According to the law, if you don't plead guilty after three tortures, you can be released on bail. But this case is very small, and the evidence is not sufficient, so the standard of three times is not required. If you have used punishment but have not confessed, you can release him on bail." He specially emphasized, "This is a small case, don't worry too much, the most urgent thing is to take Feng Niang back, so as not to be bullied in the prison."

He clarified the key points in a few words, and all the plotting and wrestling behind him were left out, and what was handed to Nanshan was only such a simple "theft and frame-up case".

Nanshan suddenly felt that he was simple, but not simple.

The current court situation is in a state where everyone is in danger.There are many unjust and wrongly decided cases, and it seems that no one has looked over those laws and regulations, and no one has referenced them.So when Nanshan encountered this incident, he panicked, as if no one could prove his innocence, and he had to use abnormal ways to solve the problem.

But Pei Qu dragged her back to the right path, telling her that the law still exists, justice still exists, and justice still exists.

This idea is so simple that it seems a bit too ideal at the moment, but Nanshan is willing to believe him once.

She turned her head and watched Pei Qu lose her mind unknowingly. Pei Qu didn't know what was going on in her mind, and finally mustered up the courage to raise her hand, gently supported her head that had been turned backwards, and slowly moved her He turned back and said flatly: "Don't look at me like this as a teacher."

Pei Qu was very careful when supporting her head, and only pressed her hair and forehead lightly with his fingertips, applying a little pressure, but not too much force.

Only this pitiful contact made Nanshan shrug his shoulders unconsciously.She felt her scalp tingling slightly, until Pei Qu let go of her hand, she muttered like complaining: "Don't even look at it."

"Allow me to see. It's just your opinion. It's a little scary." After Pei Qu finished speaking, he turned to look at the neighbor's wife. It seemed that it was not a good thing to forget this important witness, so he walked over and explained to the neighbor's lady again. some things.

The aunt nodded frequently, and finally said in a low voice: "Although I don't know which family the lord belongs to, but it seems that he must be from a wealthy family. Although the official family in Nanmei is a little poor, people are very rare. if……"

Her voice became smaller and smaller, but no matter what she said, she just wanted to make a good deal.In the eyes of the neighbor's lady, Pei Qu is so caring about Nanshan, and Nanshan seems to have some hidden meanings, so he shouldn't miss the opportunity, he should grasp it well!But she didn't know that the two of them were thinking about each other. There might be some pink parts in this thinking that she could imagine, but there were more secrets that she couldn't find out.

Shen Fengge hasn't fed Nanshan for a long time, Nanshan now looks like a hungry puppy, and because of illness, his eyes look bigger and more terrifying than usual.She turned her head to look at Pei Qu, who gave her a piece of cloud cream.

He said a little pettyly: "Save some food, there are only two yuan left for the teacher."

Nanshan took a look at the cloud milk soup, thinking that it would be a waste for her to eat such an expensive soup.She suddenly felt a little sad, and before the sad mood fully came to the surface, the officials ran out: "Du Shaofu ordered the accuser and witnesses to go in."

Because the letter of grievance was handed over, and Du Xianwei could not hold a trial in the absence of the county magistrate, he only asked the plaintiff to go in to understand and verify the case in order to make a decision.

The teacher, the student, and the neighbor's wife went to the public house together. Du Xianwei asked the details, and then called the jailer to ask. After the two sides checked, he confirmed that his Shangguan Wei County Magistrate was a bastard dog official who poured sewage on people, so he was full of righteousness and merciless He said: "The Wei Ming government disregarded the laws and regulations. There is such a grievance in this case that it allows the jailer to impose heavy punishments. It is really abominable!"

Pei Qu said again: "Yesterday, Mr. Pei came here and wanted to release the suspect, but Wei Mingfu refused to do so. Pei wanted to beg Du Shaofu to release him on bail according to the law, but I don't know if Du Shaofu can do it." This Lord."

Are you willing to do according to the law what your superior is not willing to do?

Du Xianwei immediately said: "Such a small case, severe punishment is suspected of favoritism and abuse, and refusing to release people on bail is even more ridiculous. Please follow me to go through the formalities."

Pei Qu seemed to have figured out Du Xianwei's temper, and settled the matter smoothly, which surprised Nanshan a little.She always thought that she was very insightful in personnel affairs, but she never thought that complex matters could be resolved in such a direct and direct way.

Or maybe just luck.If the on-duty county captain I met today was not Du Rong, would things still go so smoothly?
Nanshan only knew that Pei Qu was lucky and Du Xianwei was an upright person, but he didn't know how many layers of connections and pressures were involved.

At this time, County Magistrate Wei was not enjoying his leisurely ten-day vacation, but was taken away by the Jinwu Guard, and was being interrogated by the on-duty priest of Yushitai.

Of course, Nanshan couldn't control that much, she hugged Fengniang who came out of the prison, held back the tears, and didn't say a word.There are many reunions after parting in the world, but for Nan Shan, this reunion is extremely precious. Although Feng Niang and her have no blood relationship, they are now her close relatives.

Pei Qu watched from the side without saying a word.He seemed to understand all the reasons for this, and he could understand the sadness in Nanshan's heart.

Send Fengniang home, and invite the doctor to come over and have a look.Nan Shan crouched beside the bed and applied medicine to Feng Niang.Fengniang's fingers and back were so bruised that she was almost in tears. Nanshan finally packed up the medicine bottle, put the bed tent and came out.

Pei Qu stood waiting for her outside the house, saw her red eyes, and didn't want to say anything to comfort her to aggravate her negative emotions, so he said to her in a straight tone: "As far as I know, the official of the imperial censor will tell the county magistrate Wei For impeachment, Feng Niang may have to appear as a witness at that time, please tell her."

When he mentioned Yushitai, Nanshan quickly straightened out his thoughts.She had figured it out a lot along the way, and she didn't find it strange that Magistrate Wei was impeached.

County Magistrate Wei's rank is higher than that of Pei Liangchun, so she shouldn't be at the mercy of a Taiwan official. Based on the conversation she heard that night, she believed that County Magistrate Wei must have something in Pei Liangchun's hands, so she had no choice but to act as his lackey. .And once this matter is exposed, and Yu Shitai uses it to impeach Wei County Magistrate, Pei Liangchun must have the ability to wash himself clean.

Abandoning a pawn to save a car is a commonly used method in officialdom, and Pei Liangchun must be well versed in this method.

After reading this, Nanshan did not feel relaxed.As long as the car is still there, losing a pawn is nothing to Pei Liangchun.If he still doubts, then there will naturally be new tricks.Nan Shan herself was not afraid, she turned her head to look at the room subconsciously, wanting to make a decision, but she was still reluctant.

Feng Niang has no one to rely on, only her.

When she was distracted, Pei Qu suddenly raised his hand, put the back of his hand against her forehead and said, "It's still very hot, do you have any medicine at home?"

Nan Shan nodded, seeing that his hand was still not loose, he raised his hand to remove his stubborn claw, turned around and said, "I'm going to decoct the medicine."

"I'll fry it for you."

"Will the teacher do it?"

"If you don't believe me, I won't fry it for you."

Nan Shan sat down on the spot and pointed to the direction of the kitchen: "The medicine is in the cabinet next to the gauze cabinet, please help me get a prescription for cold and fever."

Pei Qu passed her and went directly to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, and found that it was full of dense grids, with various paper packages and various medicines, and a row of medicine bottles underneath, it was like a medicine cabinet.

There is actually a dense book of scriptures underneath, does this girl want to teach herself to be a doctor?
He took the medicine according to the prescription and cooked a pot.Nan Shan was about to fall asleep sitting outside, Pei Qu walked over quietly, sat down beside her, and stared at the small courtyard in front of her, distracted.

Nanshan tilted his head in a daze, and his head was about to hit his shoulder, but as soon as the clever ghost's head touched his clothes, he sat upright again, eyes still closed, tilted his head to the other side, and continued sleep.

Pei Qu didn't care at all, and after a long time, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand to straighten her head, but at this time Nan Shan sat up straight again, shaking his head as if he was just waking up from a dream, looking at her. Seeing Pei Qu's arm in front of his eyes, he turned to look at him: "What is the teacher going to do?"

Pei Qu withdrew his hand: "The medicine has been boiled twice, if you don't drink it, you will be old."

Nanshan stood up abruptly, ignoring her old and unresponsive teacher, and ran straight to the kitchen.She quickly poured out the medicine, and took out the medicine bowl without fear of being hot, and wanted to go back to her room to drink, but seeing that her teacher was still sitting in the corridor, she simply put the medicine bowl on the ground, and sat cross-legged to drink.

Pei Qu touched the edge of the bowl and felt that the bowl was very hot.She is not rough-skinned and thick-skinned, doesn't she feel hot?Nanshan guessed what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "I can't eat the taste, everything else is normal. This is very hot, but it's not so hot that I can bear it."

Pei Qu asked casually: "Did you put your hand into the frying pan?"

Nanshan felt that he was going to set his own words again.What Guan Bai said is right, the stinky brat is a monster, always trying to set up tricks for people to get in!

Nanshan said: "The students didn't come from stealing. Why did they put their hands into the frying pan? Why is the teacher asking such a strange question?"

Pei Qu gave a faint "hmm" and watched her hold up the medicine bowl to cool it down.

He asked again: "Why do you have to prepare so many medicines at home?"

Nanshan glanced at him quickly from the corner of his eye: "For a while, I felt that life was not interesting, and I thought it would be good if I could cure the problem of not being able to eat, so I read a lot of medical books and got a lot of medicines and came back to think about it. But after trying It’s useless, so let’s just forget about it.”

She spoke so frankly that Pei Qu didn't know how to respond.

She finally drank the medicine like a bowl of plain water, raised her finger to wipe the corners of her lips lightly, puffed up her cheeks and said to herself: "I feel hot in my mouth."

Only the feeling of hot and cold is left, which is monotonous and a bit lonely.

But there was no sadness or joy on Nanshan's face, she seemed to have regained her former vigor and spirit, and was able to jump up and down like a little monster again.

Pei Qu handed her the last piece of cloud milk powder.

Nanshan thought for a while and said, "No need, it's a waste to give to the students. Let the teacher eat it. I won't grab the teacher's ration unless I have to."

Pei Qu then took the cloud milk soup back.

He got up, and Nanshan sent him away in a considerate manner: "Teacher, if you have something to do, hurry up and do it."

Pei Qu said "hmm", straightened his clothes and went out, walked a few steps and then suddenly turned back to look at her, and did not forget to tell her: "You have to remember to sleep."

Nanshan vaguely remembered that Shen Fengge told her the same way through the door last night - "Sleep well."

They both make people sleep, but they seem to be different.

Naturally, Pei Qu didn't know the contrast in the student's heart, so he led the horse away with great innocence.

When he returned to Wannian County, he saw a familiar horse when he went to tie the horse.

He asked the officer on duty: "Is anyone here?"

"Oh, it's Zhao Yushi." The officer pointed to the horse that was grazing, "That horse belongs to Zhao Yushi."

Pei Qu nodded to indicate that he understood, tied up the horse and went to the public house.At this time, it will be dark, and the lights in the public house have been lit.Pei Qu originally wanted to come over to talk to Pei Guangben about Fengniang and Nanshan before the street drum sounded, but Pei Guangben, who is a "bole", entertained his "Qianlima" in a shabby way in the public office at this time.

The Maxima he discovered was naturally Zhao Yushi.

When Pei Qu was about to knock on the door, Zhao Yushi was cryptically expressing that he had offended many people by impeaching County Magistrate Wei this time, but he didn't say at all that the reason why he dared to impeach was because of the person behind him - Shen Fengge.

Pei Qu withdrew his hand to knock on the door.

In Wannian Gongfang, Zhao Yushi was chatting happily with his former Bole.

Although Pei Guangben was considered a shrewd old man, he lost his head in the face of the "upright and kind-hearted" Zhao Yushi.The degree of dizziness is probably comparable to that of Cao Shilang facing Xu Miaowen.

Pei Qu listened outside the office for a while, when the officer on duty looked at him curiously, he made a gesture of "silence", and walked out from the inner corridor.

"Zhao Yushi often comes?"

The official replied honestly: "I often come here during Xunxiu. The Ming Dynasty treats Zhao Yushi very close, almost like a son..."

It's nothing for the elderly to find a spiritual sustenance if they are really bored, but does his uncle really know this Zhao Yushi?Perhaps in the early years, Zhao Yushi had just won a Jinshi, and he was still high-spirited and innocent, but now he has been in the muddy water of Yushitai for so long, and his heart may be difficult to distinguish.

Pei Guang, who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, shouldn't have guessed this level. Could it be that the old man is just pretending to be confused?

"The world is already very dangerous, so you have to keep some self-righteous and beautiful illusions!" This is what Guan Bai once said to him, "If you think that others have no malicious intentions, treat others kindly. I’m sorry to kill you when I’m here. Hey, hey, I’m really cute and naive, I’ll probably be the first to be stabbed to death.”

Guanbai's logic seems to always only listen to the first half of the sentence.

Pei Qu stopped his train of thought, and asked again: "Does Zhao Yushi leave very late every time?" It seems that people in Yushitai are used to ignoring the night ban.

The officials shook their heads: "Not necessarily, there are times when they leave after eating."

At this time the street drums were already sounding, Pei Qu looked back, and the official said again: "Is Shaofu Pei going back today? Or is he on duty at the public house? If he is on duty at the public house, the humble officer will go to boil water."

"Please let me stay here a little longer."

At this time, the lights in the prison were flickering, and a young jailer was worried because he accidentally knocked over a meal.This meal was prepared for Changsun Ji, and there was all kinds of soup, and it was still hot when it was brought, which showed that the above was treating Changsun Ji favorably.

But he overturned the meal on the ground, he was really worried.Working in a prison is different from other prisons. There are officials and family members coming and going here. No one knows which one will completely lose power and which one will make a comeback, so even if they are currently imprisoned, they must be carefully served one by one. .

When he was frowning, the door of the torture room was already open.Pei Liangchun came out from the inside, walked past the jailer, caught a glimpse of the food scattered on the ground, and ordered in a low tone: "Pick it up and pack it up for him to finish, so that he won't be too hungry to speak."

Hearing these words, the little jailer was terrified, he had not been here for a long time, but he also heard the reputation of Pei Yushi, and today he personally ordered him to feel a chill down his spine.

He quickly squatted down to pick up the food, Pei Liangchun glanced at him from the corner of his eye, walked around him and went straight.There are thick walls between the various cells of the platform prison, which is not as convenient for communication as in ordinary prisons.He seemed to be patrolling the cell, but when he reached the end, he stopped outside a cell.

There is no one else in the prison here, but the county magistrate Wei who was arrested by the Jinwu Guards today.

County magistrate Wei was disheveled at this moment, looking a little embarrassed.He caught a glimpse of Pei Liangchun through the small window, and rushed over immediately, leaned against the small window and said in a low voice: "Zhao Yushi impeached me, and the evidence is so abundant, why would he suddenly offend you?"

Pei Liangchun slightly raised the corner of his lips, Zhao Yushi's willingness to offend him probably got someone's instruction, and he wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

But he glanced sideways at County Magistrate Wei: "Offend me? You are the one impeached by Zhao Yushi, so what does it have to do with me?"

County magistrate Wei didn't expect him to turn his face and deny people so quickly, he frowned and reprimanded: "This matter was ordered by Pei Yushi, aren't you afraid that I will shake you out?"

Pei Liangchun has seen this kind of face too much, and has long turned a blind eye to such threats.He wrote lightly: "I instigated? I heard that when Feng Gongfeng tried you today, even the officials in Chang'an County were willing to come forward to testify that you instructed Hu merchants to deliberately plant money on blind women. Even testifying against yourself Shangguan is so straightforward, you can see those People are really determined not to let you go back. How unpopular you do things on weekdays, you can tell at a glance like this. I can only say to Wei Mingfu, "You deserve it", what do you think?"

County Magistrate Wei clenched his fists angrily, and said fiercely, "If I die, don't even think about it!"

Pei Liangchun smiled meaninglessly, and his voice was as low as the wind: "If you don't want to admit it, then think about Yushitai's ability to adjudicate cases. Feng Gongfeng has as many methods as I have, you should know a little bit about it. Right now there is no confession that can’t be asked, I don’t think you have the ability to be the first counterexample. What’s more——” His tone became more relaxed, “It doesn’t matter if you drag me into the water, if you want your unforgivable crimes If the secret is revealed."

As soon as he mentioned this, the magistrate Wei's arrogance immediately faded by half.

Pei Liangchun had already seen through his thoughts, and continued: "The best outcome of this case is stick blame, and the worst outcome is Zuo Qian. But if other things are involved, such as your little secrets, I'm afraid it's best The best result is exile, and the worst, guess what?"

Wei county magistrate's arrogance has disappeared to only [-]%.

Facing the faint candlelight, Pei Liangchun raised his hand to look at a slender jasper ring on his finger, then turned his face and asked: "So are you planning to lose power temporarily, or is it because of some dark thoughts in your heart? To be exiled to death?"

He is like a deadly poisonous snake, magistrate Wei has completely lost his words.

Pei Liangchun was very cautious, according to Wei County magistrate's disposition, he would naturally choose the former path.

Satisfied, the poisonous snake straightened its cuffs, glanced at him casually, turned around slowly, and folded back silently.

After the ten-day holiday, the weather improved, and the yamen returned to the summer state of "hot and hot", "busy and busy", and "very annoying".

Due to his poor health, Nanshan had to take care of Fengniang, so he took several days off, not going to the official media office, nor going to patrol the streets with his teacher.But even though she hadn't arrived yet, she dutifully drew at home the spectrum of all the squares in Wannian County, and the picture was so detailed that even a small bridge half a foot wide was drawn on it.

In the long summer, the pictures seem to be endless.The rhythmic chirping of cicadas is like a soul-inspiring tune, which makes people dizzy.The neighbor's wife brought fresh plums, Nanshan thanked him, picked one and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling refreshed, then lowered his head and continued to draw.

Feng Niang's voice came from the house, she said: "You don't have to watch me at home, I know you have a lot of things to do, go and do it quickly."

Nanshan replied: "Not busy, not busy."

"Didn't you say that if you are not busy, you will be poor, and you will have to eat Taicang rice at a reduced price in the future?"

"Don't worry for a while, I still have food left." Nan Shan said while holding down the ruler to continue drawing.

Here, Feng Niang babbled and couldn't drive her away, but after a while there, someone knocked on the door.Nanshan looked up, put down his pen and ran out, opened the door and saw that it was Cui, a nine-rank media official from the official media yamen.

Cui Media Officer looked her up and down: "Oh, you look pretty much better, why are you hiding at home and not going out? I'm so busy—" She pointed at the corner of her broken mouth, "It hurts to eat anything!"

"I——I sued for leave." Nanshan retorted.

"Who cares about you, you have to follow me if you have the breath."

"what?"

"Here comes a person who is particularly difficult to serve, and I want to pick the matchmaker who I like to say, and the matchmaker Yao asked me to bring you there too." Cui the matchmaker is tall and strong, and she took Nanshan away as she spoke. , not giving her any chance to resist.

Of course, Nanshan couldn't show her unusual "kungfu" in front of her colleagues, so she could only yell at the neighbor's lady: "A certain person has gone to the Yamen, and my aunt will take care of Feng Niang for a certain person, thank you!"

The neighbor's wife responded, and Nanshan then struggled to break Cui's matchmaker's hand, and followed her to the yamen.

She didn't know that a crowd of people had gathered in the yamen at this time, and almost all of those who went out to run matchmakers and said their relatives had returned, just to see something strange.

The protagonist of the strange incident is the most famous old virgin in the two capitals, oh no, Mr. Shen, the Kuang Nan.

Master Shen personally went to the official matchmaking yamen to ask someone to be a matchmaker, which is extremely rare.Everyone thought he was going to shave off his hair and become a monk!

Another media official muttered secretly: "Oh, it's a pity that the skin shaved off the hair, although the bald head should look good." "Master Shen doesn't like men?" How about telling the host?" "It's not very responsible to tell the host, if the host is Tianxiong." Yun Yun.

Although the discussion ended smoothly with "Bah, bah, can you talk about the host? Don't you know who he is? Do you want to die nicely?", but the media officials are already gearing up and excited.

When Nanshan was carried to the yamen by the media official Cui, she was still in a daze. She never knew that the official media yamen of Chang'an County could accommodate so many people.Huh?That lady, you are not a matchmaker, why are you standing here...

Nan Shan poked his head in, and when he wanted to see what happened, a voice suddenly sounded: "Officer Nan Media, come here."

Hearing the voice of third grade media official Yao, Nanshan squeezed in through the bustling crowd.

But as soon as she squeezed in, she was grabbed by a hand.

The matchmaker Yao shouted at her matchmaker like a shopkeeper, grabbed Nanshan and Shen Fengge who was sitting behind Gaozu's case, and said, "Taiwan master, look at this!"

Shen Fengge looked at Nanshan, and Nanshan looked at him, and suddenly remembered that he had heard Shen Fengge say "meet in a fair and square way", he couldn't help being stunned, and his ears pricked up.

Shen Fengge supported his chin with one hand, his expression was lazy, and there was a bit of charm that he had never seen before.

Bah, bah, bah, that little expression on that face that has never changed for thousands of years is really terrifying!
Shen Fengge narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Nanshan for a long time, and said: "This person has been a matchmaker with me a long time ago, so she is the only one."
