The next day, when the first ray of sunshine shone on the golden bell of Hua's luxury car, Lin Sui'an, the master of Qianjing, fought for 500 rounds with Yun Zhongyue, the best thief in the world, and the glorious deed of flattening half of the Hua's house was already in full swing. It is well known to women and children, and it has spawned several versions.
"Wu Zhengli's wife, Qu Hui, came from a scholarly family, but her family was in decline. In order to support her natal family, she had to marry Wu Zhengli, the head of the Wu family. But this Wu Zhengli was nothing at all. He abused Mrs. Wu every day, making Mrs. Wu unhappy. He looks like a human but not a ghost. Although Yun Zhongyue is known as the best thief in the world, he is actually a righteous thief with a good heart. He accidentally discovered Wu Zhengli's discord, drew his sword to help when the road was rough, and rescued Mrs. Wu." Jin Ruo grabbed her with one hand. He stuffed the white sugar cake into his mouth, raised a finger with his other hand and said, "This is version one."
Hua Yitang swayed his head along with the carriage, chewing the steamed cake slowly, "Tch, Yun Zhongyue made this up himself."
"Don't worry, there is a follow-up." Jin Ruo swallowed the second piece of sugar cake, "But Yun Zhongyue is a prodigal son of the green forest. It is not convenient to travel with a woman in the world, so he wanted to secretly send Mrs. Wu to Hua Shenjun's mansion. Unexpectedly, Lin Sui'an, the master of Qianjing, was alarmed. The two masters were displeased with each other and immediately got into a fight. Fortunately, the masters used their skills in a measured manner. No one was injured, and Mrs. Wu was safely delivered to Huazhai. "
Lin Sui'an commented: "The plot is mediocre and has no highlights."
Ling Zhiyan took the flower tea sent by Eta and took a sip, "Regardless of the process, the result is still consistent with the facts."
"Who said no one was injured!" Hua Yitang gritted his teeth and said, "Yun Zhongyue caused half of the locust trees in my Ninety-nine House to become bald like Chen Fanfan. What a big loss!"
Everyone: "..."
Those locust trees seem to have been cut down by Mrs. Lin...
"Version two," Jin Ruo raised a second finger, "Qu Hui and Yun Zhongyue are actually male and female thieves in the world. They wanted to enter the Hua family's treasure house to steal the secret treasure, but they were bumped into by the treasure keeper Lin Sui'an. Just then, Lin Sui'an captured Qu Hui immediately, but Yun Zhongyue escaped. Alas, as the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately——"
Lin Sui'an: "This version is creative and has a Jianghu spirit!"
Ling Zhiyan: "What's the Hua family's secret treasure?"
Hua Yitang was proud, "The Hua family's biggest secret treasure is naturally the famous Hua family Shiro!"
Ling Zhiyan's brows twitched and decided to drink tea quietly.
Jin Ruo raised his third finger, "Version three, because Mrs. Wu is so beautiful, both Yun Zhongyue, the best thief in the world, and Hua Silang, the new judicial officer in Yidu, fell in love with her at first sight. Yun Zhongyue struck first and kidnapped her. After seeing Mrs. Wu, Huasilang was furious. He immediately sent his best master Qianjing Master Lin Sui'an to fight with Yun Zhongyue by the Mochou Lake. He beat Yun Zhongyue severely and snatched Mrs. Wu back. The two When lovers meet again after separation, it's like being heartbroken, hugging each other and crying, with tears flowing down Mochou Lake..."
Ling Zhiyan spit out a mouthful of tea, Hua Yitang crushed the steamed cake in his hand, and Lin Sui'an gave a thumbs up, "This version is the best!"
"It's so noisy!" Fang Ke, who was huddled in a corner to catch up on his sleep, muttered, "If you keep making noise again, I'll chop your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys into pieces and put them in a glass vat!"
Everyone was silent for a moment and winked at Eta crazily.
Eta had already prepared and offered the prepared hell tea soup. Fang Ke took a sip and the anger from getting up was indeed gone.
Mu Xia, who was driving, stopped the carriage with a "hush" and said, "Silang, the government office has arrived."
Hua Yitang has been in Yidu for so many days, and has been plagued by murders every day. She is so busy that she either stays up late or works overtime a few hours earlier. Today is the first time to come to the government office, just in time for the various departments to join the army. , scribes, officials, government officials and bad people should be the people who work on the job.
The catcher Wu Da was the first to see Hua Yitang and hurriedly saluted him. The criminal and the government official were old friends with Hua Yitang and said hello repeatedly. Wu Zhengqing's face was not very good-looking, with two big black circles under his eyes. As if he hadn't slept all night, he and Si Gong Si Hu and other soldiers who joined the army greeted each other politely, exchanged a few words, and then hurried to their respective offices to work. Their backs were dejected and their steps were heavy, no different from the hardworking social animals of modern times. the difference.
Wu Da followed him to the Judicial Department, saying he had something important to report. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Fang Che take out the glass jar from his bag and wipe it carefully inside and out as if he couldn't put it down. .
Wu Da's face turned green, the same color as Hua Yitang's official robe.
Hua Yitang sat behind the desk and quickly looked through the files on the desk, "What's wrong with Capt. Wu?"
Wu Da forced himself to look away, clasped his fists and said, "Qi Zhenhua joins the army. Before, you asked your subordinates to investigate whether anyone in Hongxiangfang knew Lian Xiaoshuang. The subordinates led the brothers to investigate for several days, and finally found some clues. "
Oooh! Lin Sui Anxin said that it seemed that the government officials finally recognized the reality and were ready to extend an olive branch to Hua Yitang.
Ling Zhiyan immediately walked over and sat down at the seat next to Hua Yitang's.
Hua Yitang raised his eyelids and said, "Tell me."
"There are fifty-seven brothels in Hongxiangfang registered with the government. Almost every house has a prostitute. After we checked with Lian Xiaoshuang's drawings, we found that no one knew Lian Xiaoshuang. This It's really strange -" Wu Da frowned, "Later, we found an old Yaman from Hongxiangfang for many years, and finally an Yaman named Sun Jiupo recognized him and said that Lian Xiaoshuang in the painting looked like Lian Xiaoshuang. She looks very similar to a little girl she sold ten years ago."
Ling Zhiyan: "Does the little girl have a name?"
Wu Da shook his head, "It's been too long. Sun Jiupo didn't remember it. She only remembered that the nails on the ten fingers of that little girl were all gone. They were bloody and her eyes were dull. She felt that she couldn't sell it at a high price."
Lin Sui'an's head jumped, remembering the scene in Lian Xiaoshuang's Golden Finger - the bloody fingers dug into the ground and all the nails were worn away - could it be that it was not an illusion caused by the Dragon God Fruit, but a real thing? scene?
Wu Da: "We followed the lead and found out that the little girl was sold to several houses, and was finally sold to a barbarian music house. Later, the barbarian music house collapsed, and the dancers and prostitutes were resold to Yongzhou House."
Hua Yitang narrowed his eyes: "Yongjufang where Minina is?"
Wu Da nodded, his expression a little heavy, "After Minina was murdered last night, my subordinates felt that the case was a bit strange, so they went to Yongjufang overnight to investigate. They learned that before Minina became famous, there was a pipa girl who played the pipa for many years. Her accompaniment is very skilled. Minina and the pipa girl are like sisters, eat and live together, and are very protective of the girl. Every time she appears, she has her face covered with a veil and a power fence, so few people see her. To its true appearance.”
Ling Zhiyan: "Have you never seen anyone?"
"This is the strangest thing." Wu Da said, "Two years ago, Minina became famous and became the head dancer of Yongzhou Square, but the pipa girl suddenly disappeared. After that, Yongzhou The old owner of the workshop dismissed all the old people in the workshop, and now the new owner of Yongzhou Square, musicians and dancers rarely know about this pipa girl, and no one has seen her."
Hua Yitang: "Where is the old owner of Yongzhoufang?"
"Died half a year ago."
"What about those who were sent away?"
"They are basically all barbarians. Some have returned to their hometowns and some have disappeared. If you want to trace them, it will take a lot of effort."
"To put it bluntly," Lin Sui'an said, "if this pipa girl is Lian Xiaoshuang, only Minina has seen her face and understands her origins."
Ling Zhiyan: "But now Minina is also dead."
Hua Yitang tapped her fingers on the table, "To prevent others from seeing the Pipa girl's face, and to dismiss the old man from before...it seems to be for——"
The three of them said in unison: "Completely erase the existence of Pipa Girl."
After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"How do you check out the three embroidery workshops that Lian Xiaoshuang often goes to?" Hua Yitang asked again.
"They are all ordinary embroidery shops doing serious business, nothing special." Wu Da said, "We are currently checking the list of regular embroidery shops."
Hua Yitang nodded and motioned for Wu Da to step back.
"I didn't expect these government officials and bad people to be of any use." Jin Ruodao groaned, "Finally we don't have to do everything ourselves."
Hua Yitang put on a smile that would coax a child, "The government officials and bad guys can only find out what happened on the surface. Of course, we still have to rely on our little Jin Ruo for those key secret clues."
Jin Ruo looked disgusted, "Go, go, don't talk to me in this tone, it's disgusting."
"Dong, dong, dong, dong -" Drums sounded outside, and everyone became energetic and stood up together.
Qu Hui arrived at the government office.
Taishou Chi had a nightmare all night. When he closed his eyes, he saw the body of Minina hanging from the beam. In the morning, he also found a bunch of fallen hair beside the pillow. Taishou Chi couldn't help but think of the girl he had met once. Chen Yanfan, the Minister of Dali Temple—with that shiny forehead and tragic hairline—could he follow in the footsteps of the Minister of Dali Temple?
Chi Taishou, who had been holding back his anger for getting up, stood up slowly. He had just drank two mouthfuls of millet porridge when the government's grievance drum rang again. He threw down his rice bowl and hurried to the lobby. After a closer look, Ling Sizhi and Hua Joining the army and Mrs. Lin had arrived early, eagerly waiting for him to ascend to the throne.
Don’t these guys not sleep or eat? This is exhausting to death!
Taishou Chi was extremely depressed, so he could only tidy up his clothes, sit upright in the lobby, and took a photo of the gavel: "Whoever complains about injustice, bring him to court!"
After Sandaotang shouted in authority, Wu Da brought a woman to the hall. At first, Chi Taishou thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyelids and groaned, the woman was Wu Zhengli's wife Qu Hui, and she was safe and sound. All previous evidence clearly showed that she had been killed by Wu Zhengli——
Qu Hui knelt down and submitted an appeal with both hands, "Qu Hui, a citizen girl, has been married to Wu Zhengli for ten years. She insists on abiding by her duties and being diligent and thrifty in running the family. However, Wu Zhengli is addicted to gambling, spends his family and is cruel, and commits violence against the women of the people every day. It is better for a common girl to die. I will appeal to the court today and ask the eunuch to judge us two. From now on, we will part ways and have nothing to do with each other!"
After saying this, he kowtowed heavily, his shoulders trembling.
Chi Taishou signaled the criminal to submit the complaint, read it carefully, slapped his mouth, summoned Hua Yitang and Ling Zhiyan to the case, and whispered: "Hua joins the army, Ling Sizhi, what is going on?" ?!”
Hua Yitang: "Ms. Qu was indeed kidnapped by Yun Zhongyue."
Governor Chi: "Huh?"
Ling Zhiyan: "Last night, Madam Lin fought with Yun Zhongyue and rescued Madam Qu."
Governor Chi: "Eh?"
Hua Yitang: "This matter caused a storm in the city. Didn't Governor Chi hear about it?"
Taishou Chi: "This... I am busy with official duties, so I haven't had time to understand... So that's it, it's fine, as long as no one dies!"
Hua Yitang and Ling Zhiyan turned around and sat down. Chi Taishou cleared his throat and said, "Qu Hui, I am very sympathetic to your situation. What you asked for is also in line with the law of the Tang Dynasty. Today, I will sentence you to break up with Wu Zhengli and force you to be dismissed." marriage."
"Thank you, Governor Chi!" Qu Hui burst into tears and kowtowed heavily.
"Wu Da, go and ask the jailer if Wu Zhengli is awake?" Chi Taishou asked again.
Wu Da walked out of the hall quickly and came back a short while later, "To inform the prefect, Wu Zhengli has woken up and is waiting downstairs."
Governor Chi was very satisfied. Xindaohua's men in the army were really capable, and even a mere widower had excellent medical skills in rejuvenation. He waved his hand and said, "Bring them up quickly!"
Two jailers dragged Wu Zhengli up. Wu Zhengli's hands and feet were still weak, his clothes were dirty, his hair was messy, and his eyes were still a little dull. When he saw Qu Hui, his eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly broke free from the jailer's arms. Hands, lying on the ground and shouting, "Sir, it's Qu Hui! I was wronged! I didn't kill anyone! Qu Hui is still alive! I was wronged!!"
Taishou Chi snapped the picture and said, "Qu Hui is safe and sound. Wu Zhengli's case of killing his wife is not established and Wu Zhengli is found not guilty."
Wu Zhengli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and pounced on Qu Hui, "You bitch, join forces with outsiders to harm me. I will cramp and skin you today -"
The jailer grabbed Wu Zhengli's shoulders and dragged him back.
"Let me go! Qu Hui is my wife, Wu Zhengli. She was born to the Wu family and died to the Wu family. Why do you stop me? This is my family matter! You have nothing to do with it!" Wu Zhengli roared with red eyes. .
"Insolent! This is the lobby of Yidu Mansion, not Caishikou! How can you be allowed to roar in the court?!" Taishou Chi slapped the gavel hard, causing the whole hall to buzz. "Wu Zhengli has been abusing his wife all year round. The method is cruel and outrageous. According to the provisions of "Tang Lu Shu Yi: Household Marriage", I hereby sentence Wu Zhengli and Qu Hui to be righteous. Wu Zhengli should return all the dowry to Qu Hui. If it is insufficient or missing, the money must be converted into money to make up for it. Qi. In addition, Qu Hui needs to be compensated fifty thousand dollars as compensation. Come, let Wu Zhengli sign a letter of righteousness!"
The court clerk was about to send the righteous book to Wu Zhengli. Wu Zhengli glanced at it, his eyes popped out, and he struggled desperately, "I won't sign! Qu Huisheng is my person, and his death is my ghost. She will be here for the rest of her life." Don’t even think about leaving me!”
Wu Da squeezed Wu Zhengli's hand without politeness, opened his fingers forcefully, dipped his fingers in ink mud and pressed them on the book of justice. The scribe sent the book of justice to Qu Hui. Qu Hui wiped away her tears without even looking at it. Wu Zhengli took a look and pressed his fingerprint neatly.
Wu Zhengli let out a heart-rending roar and was pressed to the ground again by the jailer.
Taishou Chi held the book of justice and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and motioned to the scribe to take away the file, "Wu Zhengli, I want to remind you that from this moment on, Qu Hui has nothing to do with you. If you continue to struggle with I will not spare her lightly! I give you three days to deliver Qu Hui’s dowry and compensation to the Qu family, do you hear me clearly?!"
Wu Zhengli was pressed down by the jailer, with his chest pressed to the ground, his neck stiffened and his head raised. He didn't say a word, but stared at Prefect Chi with red eyes.
Taishou Chi sighed, "The head of the Wu family is in his prime, and the Wu family can be considered a wealthy family. After returning home, you should reflect on yourself and be a good man. Why should a man worry about being without a wife?"
A strange sound came out of Jin Ruo's throat, and Lin Sui'an rolled his eyes to the sky.
Hua Yitang glanced sideways at Wu Zhengli and muttered, "Ah, why would you marry someone who can't do anything? It's better to join the palace and become a eunuch. You can still strive for a better future and save yourself the process of purification." , ah ah ah, I actually forgot, now that the empress is in power, the eunuch system has been abolished long ago, it’s a pity, there is no place for heroes.”
The lobby of the Yidu government office was majestic and spacious, with a very good echo effect. Hua Yitang's voice swayed in a circle, creating an echo effect that lingered around the beams for three days. Everyone's expressions were somewhat indescribable.
Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo both looked sideways: It's you who is the loser!
Wu Zhengli's neck was throbbing with veins, and he was staring at the ground, his nails scratching the ground, as if he wanted to dig a hole and crawl in.
Taishou Chi coughed twice: "Um - the case is over, Wu Zhengli, please go home first -"
"Wait a minute!" Ling Zhiyan stood up suddenly and said, "Wu Zhengli still has an unsolved case and cannot leave!"
Governor Chi was startled: "W-what case?"
Ling Zhiyan's dark eyes were as bright as lightning: "The case of Wu's cloth shop selling dragon fruit!"
small theater
Hua Yitang: Come on, Ling Liulang is getting angry.
Lin Sui'an: Serve melon seeds! :,,
