On one side was the fifth-rank garrison general of Yuezhou, and on the other was the wife of the third-rank inspector who had just gone to Beijing to take up her post, which put Wei Yao in a dilemma.
Although the garrison general is under his control, he has just taken up the position now and still needs the support of the garrison mansion. The Lord Inspector cannot be offended.
"Mrs. Jiang, these three people have just pleaded guilty and said that the assassination of Mr. Chu Xiang was a spontaneous act. I wonder how Mrs. Jiang wants to try it?"
Lin Shao snorted coldly.
"Does Mrs. Jiang suspect that I am the mastermind behind the assassination of Mr. Chu Xiang?"
Mrs. Jiang raised her lips and smiled.
"I didn't say that General Lin was behind the scenes, but the actions of these three people were really suspicious. I'm curious, what was their motive for killing Dr. Chu? Otherwise, there were so many people on the street, why didn't they kill others, just General Is the sword in your hand pointed at Doctor Chu?"
Lin Shao had a tough attitude.
"No matter what the motive is, it is enough that they have confessed. Does Mrs. Jiang still want to give in?"
Mrs. Jiang was speechless, with a hint of dissatisfaction rising in her heart.
Lin Shao was extremely arrogant when he was the prefect of Yuezhou. Now he is even more arrogant and openly goes against her.
I simply don’t know how high the sky is!
She wanted to say something else, but Chu Yue stepped forward and took her arm.
"Mrs. Jiang, forget it."
Now that Lord Jiang is not in Yuezhou, one of the two people in front of him wants to investigate and the other wants to defend. No matter how hard Mrs. Jiang tries, it is useless. After all, she has no right to interfere in the affairs of the yamen. Instead, she will offend the two of them.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Chu Yue with a hint of apology.
"Doctor Chu has been wronged."
Chu Yue shook her head with a smile on her face.
"No grievance, nothing happened to me after all. As long as these three people receive the punishment they deserve, that's all."
Mrs. Jiang immediately understood what Chu Yue meant, and she looked at Wei Yao.
"Master Wei, as the magistrate of Yuezhou, do you need the consent of a fifth-grade guard to punish three guilty people?"
Having said all this, if Wei Yao was still on the same page as Xi Ni, it would really be looked down upon.
A fourth-grade magistrate actually has to rely on a fifth-grade garrison general to act.
If this matter spreads, it will inevitably be ridiculed, and it will also affect his reputation in Yuezhou.
Wei Yao immediately ordered.
"Come here, these three people attempted to commit murder in the street. Each of them will hit a hundred big boards and be executed in public!"
Soon, the soldiers below prepared the tools and lifted the three people onto the execution bench.
These three people were seriously injured by Kuroki. Under such circumstances, they hit another hundred big boards. The result can be imagined. One of them fainted immediately. Although the other two were still breathing, they also had little air intake. Take out a lot of anger.
Lin Shao looked at the three people on the torture bench with a livid face. Then he waved and a few people came in from the outside. They lifted the three people up and left with him.
Before leaving, he looked deeply in the direction of Chu Yue. The emotions in his eyes were hard to see clearly.
With that being settled, Mrs. Jiang said goodbye to Wei Yao and led Chu Yue out of the provincial government office.
She looked at Chu Yue.
"Doctor Chu, it's not safe to live outside. Why don't you come with me to Jiang Mansion?"
Chu Yue shook her head slightly.
"Mrs. Jiang has given me a huge favor by standing up for me today. How can I go to the house to bother her?"
After all, going to Jiang Mansion is to live under someone else's roof, so there are many inconveniences.
With Heimu and Ningdong around, she no longer had to worry.
After all, Lin Shao is a fifth-level guard, so he will not cause too much trouble in the provincial capital. After all, if something goes wrong, he, the guard, will still have to take responsibility.
And Lin Youyi, after this failure, will probably not dare to do anything again in the short term.
Otherwise, even Lin Shao wouldn't be able to spare her.
Mrs. Jiang thought for a while and didn't embarrass Chu Yue too much.
"Okay, since Dr. Chu insists on staying at the inn, I will call some people from the house to watch in secret to prevent anyone from doing harm to Dr. Chu again."
After hearing this, Chu Yue saluted Mrs. Jiang.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang."
Mrs. Jiang quickly stepped forward to support Chu Yue, "Doctor Chu, there is no need to be polite. Our old lady is ill and I have to trouble you."
The two chatted for a few more words, then Chu Yue said goodbye and returned to the inn.
Because of this torment, the clothes on his body were already wet.
She asked Ningdong to prepare water, took a comfortable hot bath, and then lay beside the bed and let her dry her hair.
Ningdong wiped her hair and looked at Chu Yue.
"Miss, Mr. Wei is really a loser. The three men in black were so obvious that even the servants saw it, but he didn't go into details."
Chu Yue's voice was calm.
"In officialdom, there are many alternatives. Investigating everything will only harm him."
Ningdong sighed.
"If my uncle can take the examination and become an official in the future, my lady will not suffer such injustice."
Chu Yue turned her eyes slightly and looked in Ningdong's direction.
"If he really becomes an official, I will have to keep a low profile."
"Why?"
Ningdong doesn’t understand.
Chu Yue said seriously, "Official life is not easy. If you are not careful, you will be impeached by hundreds of officials. If I let him get into trouble because of me, my fault will be huge."
Ningdong didn't quite understand these truths, but he said with envy on his face, "My uncle is always thinking about my uncle, and my lady is always thinking about my uncle's situation. It can be seen that the young lady and my uncle have a true love, which is really the envy of this slave. "
Chu Yue's pretty face turned red.
"Okay, okay, your hair is almost dry, you should go and rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen and warmth surged through his body.
Chu Yue frowned slightly. Of course she knew why she felt this way, but she was not prepared at all.
"Ningdong, I seem to be... menstrual."
Ningdong, who was holding the handkerchief and preparing to go out to wash it, heard the sound and quickly turned back.
…
After a while, Chu Yue put on another set of clean clothes and put on the menstrual belt that Ningdong had prepared for her. It had to be said that this kind of menstrual belt was extremely uncomfortable to wear on her body. She didn't dare to wear it. Make sure you have a wide range of movements, otherwise your clothes will get dirty again accidentally.
"Menstruation is really troublesome."
Looking at Chu Yue's unhappy look, Ningdong just smiled and comforted her.
"Miss, every girl's family has to go through this stage. Just be patient and it will be over in a few days."
"You have to come here for so many days every month, how much time you have to delay." Chu Yue raised her head and had a vague idea in her heart, "Ningdong, go and prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I want to use it now."
"yes."
Ningdong felt blessed and went out with the dirty clothes.
Not long after, she returned to the room and brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Chu Yue needed.
Based on what she learned about the fabrics, Chu Yue improved the currently used menstrual belt so that it was no longer tied to the body but to the underwear. She also designed a menstrual belt based on her own imagination. A pair of underwear suitable for wearing a menstrual belt.
After leaving the subsequent production work to Ningdong, she returned to the bed and continued to lie down.
My first menstrual period was not a good experience.
Just rest and recuperate in the inn these few days. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after the menstrual period has passed.
It's just that she has two months to go before she turns fifteen, and now she's having her menstrual period, and she doesn't know if she can grow any taller in the future.
At present, her height is only over her husband's shoulders. It would be great if she could be over his chin.
Thinking about it, Chu Yue couldn't help but sigh.
"well!"
He turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
