Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 65

Yan Ziqin was blushed by her dawdling, he really didn't understand, he was clearly an "old husband and wife", but as long as Mingshu acted like a baby, he would turn back into that indifferent, silly boy, unable to resist.

"Don't boast about yourself in private." He said softly.

"My own man just wants to boast, but I can't bear to boast in front of others!" Ming Shu said.

"Huh? Why?" Yan Ziqin was puzzled.

"I'm afraid that others will also know your goodness, so they covet you and snatch you away." Mingshu said.

Yan Ziqin smiled and turned over to hold her down. The two of them were still clasping their hands tightly. They were tender and affectionate just now, but now it seemed that they were being restrained by Yan Ziqin, which seemed to be imprisoned.

"How can I be so good..." There was a sigh in his voice, and even his kiss was much softer than usual.

Ming Shu nodded with a smile, but felt a chill on her waist, but was hugged by him.

"What are you doing?" As soon as the words came out, I felt that Yan Ziqin stuffed a big soft pillow under her waist, supporting her waist and buttocks high.This posture was too weird. Lying on the bed with her head lowered, all the hot blood rushed there, making her confused for a while.

Pecking lightly on her lips, Yan Ziqin whispered against her forehead: "Shhh, do you still want to have a child?"

Ming Shu was puzzled, but felt that the pillow under her body sank, and it was Yan Ziqin who straddled her.

"This way, it's easier..."

The soft face pillow undulates, like floating, eternal water waves, making her unable to grasp the root system like duckweed, and can only hug the man on her body tightly.

"Wait...haven't had dinner yet." She felt very shy, and was trapped by him to do such a thing as soon as she returned to the room, and she found an excuse to shirk.

"I still think about other things. It seems that I still have room to work hard." Yan Ziqin's meaningful laughter sounded in her ears, making her regret what she said just now.

At the most lingering place, the hair on the temples is entangled, and the skin is touching each other. Every second is unbearable. She can't wait to die soon. It seems that it is not a wise choice to let Yan Ziqin live alone in the Yamen for half a month.

And he sighed contentedly, the reunion tonight came too late.

"Did you plot against me before?" After the rain cleared and the clouds cleared, Mingshu put on her middle coat, rolled her eyes and asked while eating the porridge and side dishes from Chunxiu, "On the day I went to Yuan's house in the carriage, what did I do?" I think your eyes are wrong."

Of course Yan Ziqin would not admit it, he just said perfunctorily: "I have always behaved decently, and I behave like I am outside."

"Are you sure?" Mingshu curled her lips, still angry at the sudden wiping of the gun just now, angry at him for being too impatient.

"Then, being at home should also look like being at home." He said.

"... how you look at home?" Looking at his cold face, but his eyes were burning like fire, Mingshu had a bad feeling, so she quickly picked up the porridge bowl and said pitifully, "I'm not full yet, I'm hungry !"

"It just so happens that I'm hungry too, let's go together." Yan Ziqin nodded, but he had already leaned forward, trapping Mingshu on the bamboo couch, "By the way, I'll teach you what it means to be at home... what is Harmony, Luanfeng and Mingshu ..."

Early the next morning, Yan Ziqin went to court as usual, but Mingshu was so limp that she fell unconscious. When Chunxiu woke her up, it was already bright.

"It's getting late, if the lady doesn't get up, the uncle will leave the court." Chunxiu helped Mingshu up, and handed over a bowl of golden concoction. This is a tonic that Mingshu is used to drinking. It is a bit bitter, and she endures it on weekdays. I drank it, but I was woken up today before I woke up, feeling unhappy, and turned my head away from drinking.

Chunxiu joked: "Young lady, just drink it. If you don't drink this, my uncle's efforts last night will be in vain!"

Mingshu took the medicine, but couldn't swallow it even more. She pointed at Chunxiu's forehead and said with a smile, "You're such a bad eater, and you're talking nonsense to me. I'm afraid I'll go back and tell my mother to send you back."

Chunxiu knew that she was fake angry, and said with a smile: "My lady, go ahead and say it, every word I say is good, Madam won't blame me!"

As the new year approaches, the days are getting colder, but the cloudy clouds of the moon have quietly dissipated. After the snow, the glaring winter sun hangs high in the blue and dust-free sky. Although it does not feel warm, it brings people infinite hope.

Ding Wei's case was finally settled, he himself lost his job and seized the title, and his four sons were dismissed. When the whole family was escorted to Leizhou, half of the people in Bianliang City came to watch the fun, and there were also people carrying leftovers. , and threw them all on Ding's boat, the scene was chaotic.

If you ask them what kind of feud they have with the Ding family, they can't tell, they just say that they hate corrupt officials, punish evil and promote good.

"If the imperial court can go one step further, it would be great to dispose of Wang Qinruo, that stupid official with a dead body and a vegetarian meal! lest he return to his hometown in a safe and sound manner, and the people have to pay taxes and money to support him!" Among the crowd, a vigorous man The young scholar shouted.

Soon, a group of people around him responded to his words, all of them seemed to be his classmates, and one of them said: "The government uses young students such as Yan Xuexiong, Han Xuexiong, Wang Xuexiong, etc., in order to clear up the officials. Isn't it time for us to use force to reorganize the court? From my point of view, those old ministers who have done nothing will be eliminated sooner or later."

It turned out that these people were all new students of the Beijing Normal University Guangwen Museum, and they were going to participate in the next year's Spring Competition. The Yan Xuexiong, Han Xuexiong, and Wang Xuexiong they were talking about were Yan Ziqin and Han Qi , Wang Yaochen and others were all Jinshi during the Tiansheng period.

Amidst the overwhelming approval, there was a student with a square face, narrow eyes, about twenty years old, who obviously had a joking face, but at the moment his expression was cold, and he said to himself in a low voice: "I Not necessarily."

Although his voice was low, he was still heard by the people around him, who glared at him and asked him, "Uncle Yong, what do you mean? Are you questioning us or the court?"

Ouyang Xiu, whose name is Yongshu, can be said to be a superficial character that has taken advantage of it.

At this time, he was still a young man full of ambition, perhaps because he lost his father when he was young, and his childhood with his mother, Mrs. Zheng, who depended on relatives and friends gave him the calmness of watching from the sidelines. See the inconsistencies in the situation.

Ouyang Xiudao: "I don't know how the three seniors Yan, Han, and Wang are doing, but if you rely on you people who are so ambitious and don't know the depths, the court will be hopeless."

Dare to speak coldly when the public opinion is high, Ouyang Xiu is young after all, he does not know how powerful the three become tigers.

I don't know who shouted, "Ouyang Xiu is the remnant lackey of a corrupt official!" I don't know who swung the first fist. In short, the scene became chaotic. It was kicked off, and half of the sleeve was torn off.

Fleeing back to the hotel like a mouse crossing the street, he closed the door heavily, panting heavily against the door, and saw his friend who lived in the same room, Wang Gongchen, who was only 19 years old, wearing an extra-large new silver-red dress Cloak jumped in front of him.

"Brother Ouyang, look quickly, I'm wearing the robe of the number one scholar!" Wang Gongchen said with a laugh, his eyes were already hairy due to the long eyelashes, but now that he smiled like crescent moons, he felt more childish and frank.

Brother Ouyang raised his eyebrows and picked up the clothes on Wang Gongchen's body, and asked, "This...isn't this the new suit I made?"

It was a gift from Xu Yan, the magistrate of Kaifeng County, his "prospective father-in-law". Until he lived in a guest house, he was poor and lonely, and he often sent property to show his condolences.

Wang Gongchen shook his head and said, "Yes, this dress belongs to you. People outside say that brother Ouyang is the champion of Tiansheng for eight years!"

Ouyang Xiu has always treated Wang Gongchen as his younger brother, and he didn't stick to it. He sat down, smiled and sighed, "Where do you count nonsense from outsiders?"

Just now, Wang Gongchen was only looking at himself and didn't pay attention to Ouyang Xiu. Now that he was sitting next to him, he realized that he was in a mess, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Ouyang, what did you do? ?”

Ouyang Xiu sneered and said: "It's not bad to block the road and rob money. I was beaten by the bullies. Fortunately, I was beaten with fists and legs. Otherwise, my life would be on the street."

The so-called Xueba, in ancient times, refers to the rude students who dominate the school, relying on their courage or financial resources to yell at their classmates, and even fight. Ouyang Xiu called the classmate he met just now as Xueba, which is obviously ironic. .

Wang Gongchen hurriedly took off his clothes and asked Ouyang Xiu to change them. Ouyang Xiu was puzzled and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to ask me to change?"

Wang Gongchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Have you forgotten, we're going to visit Yan Zhongcheng's house tonight!"

Yan Zhongcheng is the imperial censor, Yan Shu. Tonight, he hosted a small banquet at home, with relatives and friends in the back hall, and his favored students in the front hall. This was his first public appearance in private after returning to Beijing.

Ouyang Xiu patted his forehead, and suddenly realized: "Ah, I almost forgot! What about the picture that was mounted yesterday, help me find it, it is going to be presented to Master Yan for rectification!"

As he said that, he searched through boxes and boxes, and Wang Gongchen also came to help, but he chatted while searching.

"Brother Ouyang, do you think we will meet Lord Yan?"

Ouyang Xiu said casually: "Master Yan invites us to go, of course he wants to see us."

Wang Gongchen shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about Master Yan Shuyan, but the newly appointed young minister of Dali Temple, Yan Ziqin."

Dali Temple, named after "the prison of heavenly officials and nobles, is the meaning of Dali", has been the country's highest penalty institution since the Qin and Han Dynasties, specializing in prisons and trial cases. Ranked fourth.

Ouyang Xiu was already sweating profusely from the search, he even took off the drawer under the desk and fell to the ground, not knowing what Wang Gongchen was pestering him for, so he asked, "Why do you want to see him?"

Wang Gongchen shrugged and said: "During the time in the capital, I heard storytellers talk about Mr. Yan's case of the nine corpses in the brothel in Hangzhou, the ghost murder case at the Saibei Post Station, and the poisoning case in the secret room of the merchant ship in the South China Sea. I am very curious about what he looks like in real life. .”

Ouyang Xiu patted his little head and said helplessly, "Wake up! Those are all made up!"

Wang Gongchen said with a smile: "It must be something that makes people interested in making up stories about him! I'm still very curious, especially his wife, who has yin and yang eyes!"

Ouyang Xiu finally found a picture from the cabinet, unfolded it, and it turned out to be the one he wanted. He breathed a sigh of relief, and joked to Wang Gongchen: "Why are you talking about my wife! Gongchen, your thinking is very dangerous!"

Wang Gongchen squatted next to him with his knees in his arms, and complained bitterly: "Brother Ouyang, you don't have to worry, there is a young lady named Xu who will follow you, but I still... oh, forget it, the Liao captives are still alive, Why do you think you have a home, and why don't a man have a wife!"

Ouyang Xiu said disdainfully: "Look at your reluctance. The Xu family has a younger sister who is fourteen years old. She will be out of the court next year. Would you like me to talk to Master Xu and marry her to you?"

Wang Gongchen shyly wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and murmured: "Brother Ouyang would like my younger brother's marriage, that would be the best... It's not that I'm greedy for beauty, it's just that my younger brother feels honored to have Brother Ouyang as his brother-in-law." !" I heard that Ouyang Xiu's fiancée, Xu Rou, is cute, and her younger sister must also be a lovely little lady.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xiu burst out laughing, leaned forward and said together: "Fool, there are no other daughters in the Xu family, I lied to you, you are really dreaming of mandarin ducks!"

Wang Gongchen turned pale, threw Ouyang Xiu to the ground, and said angrily, "You...you are shameless!"

Even if he fell to the ground, Ouyang Xiu still couldn't help laughing, and couldn't even stand up. Wang Gongchen jumped in anger, and finally walked away.

When the light came on, Yan Ziqin's carriage also arrived outside his uncle's house.

Because they were relatives and friends, the steward of Yan Shu's family directly invited the two into the back hall to meet the master.At this time, Yan Shu was sitting in the ear room playing with the yellow warbler in the cage. When he saw his nephew coming, he ordered the cage to be removed, and after a little grooming, he came to the hall.

After Yan Ziqin and Ming Shu met, because Ming Shu was a female family member, she should have left here and gathered with the female family members of other relatives and friends, but Yan Shu let her stay.

"Are you Qu Zhang's daughter?" Yan Shu's tone was as calm as water, without a trace of emotion, and naturally it was impossible to guess the meaning of his words.

Ming Shu nodded, and said softly, "Yes."

Yan Shu snorted coldly and said, "Your father is not a good man."

Yan Ziqin felt the most embarrassing when he said this, other people's family was a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, his mother believed in Buddhism and didn't care about world affairs, God refused to forgive him, and invited an uncle to make things difficult for them.

Ming Shu was also taken aback for a moment, and then she reacted and said with a smile: "But my father is not a bad person."

Yan Shu obviously didn't expect that she would refute him directly, his contemptuous eyes became radiant, and he looked at Mingshu, seeing that she was just a girl, not as delicate and romantic as today's slender women, but her face was shining brightly. Vigorous, she couldn't help but smile, thinking that she was far from the heroine and the king of Hades who "has yin and yang eyes on her head and bears a lot of strength" in the words of the market people.

"Oh? Then tell me, why isn't Qu Zhang a bad guy?"

Since she was asked to say it, she said it impolitely.How could she not know the conflict between Yan Shu and his father?I used to think that Yan Ziqin's family uncle should be a literati who sang "the flowers fall without help" and sighed "the return of the familiar swallow" in the books. He was full of immortality, and he was just a stubborn elder .

Stubbornness is very similar to Qu Zhang.

Mingshu thought that if she could do her best to improve the relationship between Yan Shu and her father, she would be doing her little bit as a daughter, so she took a step forward, with a respectful face, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Please listen to me, uncle. When my uncle left the capital, my father was indeed responsible for the reason, but my uncle thought carefully, did my father say anything that harmed my uncle during the whole incident? Instead, he appealed impartially afterwards and asked my uncle to be transferred back to the capital."

What she said was reasonable and restrained, and there was no falsehood, and she said that Qu Yuan's affairs were "advised impartially", which also reflected the character of the two people-Yan Shu opposed Qu Zhang at the beginning, not because of a momentary mood or personal interests. Quyuan pleaded for Yan Shu because he knew that he was a rare talent, and it was a misfortune for his family and country to abandon him in the wilderness.

After she said it, Yan Shu and Qu Zhang seemed to have become a pair of close friends who had been awkward for many years but cherished each other.

Yan Shu was speechless, just smiled, and sighed: "Quzhang gave birth to a good daughter, go down and meet your aunt and sister, they all want to hear your story of 'connecting yin and yang'."

Mingshu blushed and said, "That's just rumors in the market, not to mention it's all old things."

After Mingshu Fushen left, only Yan Shu and Yan Ziqin, his nephew and uncle, remained in the hall. The curtain in the side room was lifted, and it was Fan Zhongyan in Tsing Yi who came out.

"Brother Xiwen, long time no see!" Yan Ziqin was surprised and delighted, stood up and cupped his hands.

"Yuan Fu, it's been a long time!" Fan Zhongyan was also smiling, bowed his hands in return, and sat beside Yan Shu, facing Yan Ziqin.

Yan Shu said: "It's time to change your mind. One was promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the other was promoted to the School Manager of the Secret Pavilion. They are both fearsome young people, and they feel more and more old and useless!"

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "My lord, stop joking."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "No kidding, let's talk about that uncle Yuan Fu."

He was talking about Xu Hang, of course. Although Xu Hang's secret collusion with Ding Wei hadn't spread, there was a lot of talk in the world, and news always leaked out, so Yan Ziqin was not surprised.

"Uncle assisted the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, and explained the hiding place of the Ding family's stolen goods. The saints have something to say, and there is nothing good about it. The officials also comforted uncle in this way."

Hearing what he said, Xu Hang's crime was not settled, and it was an extrajudicial mercy appointed by the Holy Majesty.

Yan Shu nodded and said, "It's the best. I don't know what's wrong with it, and I don't care about asking, but you should always remember that one can be the other, and the government is partial to you. You should also fulfill your duties, at least take good care of you." people around me."

Yan Ziqin nodded in agreement, at this time, another person came to see him outside the door, claiming to be from Luoyang, Xijing, his surname was Fu and his name was Bi.

Yan Shu smiled and said, "It's just right, let you know Wang Zuozhi, who knows my family!"

Yan Ziqin and Fan Zhongyan looked at each other in dismay, thinking that Yan Shu said that this person belongs to his family, could it be that he deliberately recruited this person to be his wife?Can't help but smile.

But it shows that Shu has met Yan Shu's first wife and daughter, chatted with them, and explained that she has no psychic ability.

Yan Shu's youngest daughter, Yan Zhen, was a few years younger than her, and she still loved to listen to stories, so she kept pestering her with questions.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that wherever you and the third brother go, there are dead people. Is it true? Is our family very dangerous?"

Mingshu wiped off her cold sweat, and said with a forced smile, "This...hasn't happened recently." She has been at home recently, and if she really becomes a god of death, wouldn't it cause disturbances in the house?She doesn't want to, it's better to be safe.

In the middle of the conversation, she saw Chunxiu coming in and whispering something in her ear, just as another family member came to visit Yan Shu's wife, so she left with a smile.

After leaving the room, Mingshu asked Chunxiu, "Where is Miss Xu?"

Just as she was asking, she saw Xu Rou standing under the corridor with a smile on her face, saluted playfully, and said, "Mrs. Yan, I wish you an early year."
