In the county government office of Chengnan District.
After being toyed with by those people, the "behind-the-scenes" jailer seemed to have just discovered it. The death row prisoner who drank the drink and wanted to do it all over again immediately stepped forward and dragged the person out.
But look at how Cui Yunfeng looks now...
Cui Yunfeng was tortured until he breathed his last.
His body was bleeding, and there was no good piece of flesh left on his body from being pinched, twisted, and beaten. Even the two flowers on his chest had been bitten off, revealing a small hole like a bloody scab.
Anyone watching this who doesn’t sigh might as well just die!
The jailer moved the person back to the coffin cell before, threw the person in, and locked the door without even thinking of calling a doctor.
"Why don't we hire a doctor? He is also from the Duke Wei Palace after all!" Some jailers wanted to hire a doctor for him because they were afraid of offending the Duke Wei Palace.
The jailer next to him rolled his eyes at him: "People have become like this. What's the use of hiring a doctor for him? Will he remember us? Will Duke Wei remember us? They are afraid. I wish I could wipe out all our necks with a knife. Since we are offended, we are offended. Now we can just please the Governor."
The Grand Governor and the Duke of Wei were both very important figures, but in terms of power and favor, the Grand Governor was superior.
The conversation between the two ended in vain, leaving Cui Yunfeng to fend for himself in the coffin cell.
In Duke Wei's Mansion, Cui Qingping gathered the maids and servants in the courtyard to play gambling, and finally lost all his money. After losing all his money, Cui Qingping remembered his father.
It seemed like he hadn't seen his father for several days.
The opera troupe who came to the house to sing opera set up in Wan Lan's yard. The musicians were beating gongs and drums, and the opera singers were singing "Agarwood to Save the Mother".
Cui Qingping listened for a long time without hearing anything, so he went to quarrel with Wan Lan: "Auntie, where is my father? Where is my father?"
Wan Lan was enjoying her reading when she was unexpectedly interrupted by a child. She frowned in disgust and ignored him.
But Cui Qingping stood in front of Wan Lan and said louder: "Auntie, where is my father?"
Wan Lan's continuity in watching the show was interrupted, and she felt a fire in her heart: "Your father is such a big man, how do I know where he went! You have to ask him yourself!" After saying that, he pushed Cui Qingping with his hand. , maybe a little too strong, pushed Cui Qingping down.
When had Cui Qingping been so wronged? After sitting on the ground, he simply couldn't get up and started to cry loudly. His voice was as loud as the actors on the stage, drowning their voices and Wan Lan couldn't hear them at all. What are the people singing on the stage?
"That's enough!" Wan Lan shouted, furious.
Her own grandchildren didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her, but this relative who was separated by who knows how many generations dared to disturb her listening to the opera.
Do you think your life is too long?
She immediately raised her feet to give the child a good education. Aunt Gui quickly stopped her: "Old madam, those actors are still watching!"
If this group of actors spread the word that the old lady of Duke Wei's house was getting angry with a five-year-old child, Wan Lan's reputation would be lost.
Wan Lan followed Grandma Gui's gaze and looked at the group of actors opposite her, suppressing her anger.
"Let them go down."
Wan Lan dropped a word and then pulled Cui Qingping up.
Cui Qingping cried and made trouble, and even punched and kicked him, just to prevent Wan Lan from touching him. Wan Lan's good temper was all wiped out.
Seeing that all the actors were gone, she flicked her sleeves, looked at Cui Qingping with her child rolling around, and said coldly: "If you dare to cry again, I will throw you out of the Duke Wei's mansion!"
Just kidding, this is the Duke of Wei's mansion, not this boy's Chengyang Marquis' mansion.
The reason why Mrs. Du will pamper him is because Mrs. Du is her grandmother, and she is this boy's great-aunt, but she doesn't know how many generations have passed!
Wan Lan's threat obviously had no effect.
Instead of stopping Cui Qingping from drinking, the child howled even louder.
They were rolling around on the ground, kicking and kicking, and no one could get close.
Wan Lan gave an order: "Throw the person back to where he lives!"
As soon as several tall nursing staff arrived, they took Cui Qingping away like an eagle catching a chicken. In order to prevent him from crying on the way, they directly covered his mouth.
The world is finally clean.
Wan Lan took a sip of ginseng tea to calm down her pounding heart that had just been upset by Cui Qingping, "That bastard has a really ugly temper."
"I'm afraid that if Master Cui is not at home, the children will make a fuss." Aunt Gui explained.
"How many days has Cui Yunfeng been out?"
Aunt Gui calculated: "It's seven or eight days!"
"You haven't killed that woman yet? She hasn't come back for so long." Wan Lan was frightened by Cui Qingping, the bear boy. "Have people come back to Cui Yunfeng quickly and ask him to discipline his son well. Don't rush into him when the time comes. If the Duke of the country or the second or third master pinches it gently, the boy's neck will be broken."
"Yes, slave, let me find you now."
Aunt Gui went out and came back in to help Wan Lan pinch her calf. Before she drank a cup of tea, the servant sent to find someone came back.
"Found it?" Wan Lan asked.
Aunt Gui shook her head and knelt down at Wan Lan's feet with a panic look on her face: "Old madam, something big has happened. It's not going well. Master Cui was arrested by the newly appointed county magistrate of Chengnan District."
"Why did Sun Qi catch him? Hasn't everything been arranged for him?" Wan Lan found it funny when she heard the news.
Sun Qi, the county magistrate of the Chengnan District County Government, was bribed by her. She also told Kun'er about the promotion of the county magistrate. Has he already been appointed?
But he was promoted to county magistrate, why would he arrest Cui Yunfeng?
Aunt Gui explained: "The new county magistrate is not Sun Qi, but a magistrate transferred from Yancheng, named Wang Xingmin. He was the one who arrested Master Cui."
"Why did he arrest Cui Yunfeng?" Wan Lan didn't understand even more.
Aunt Gui was about to cry, "Old madam, the inquirer said that people outside are saying that Mr. Cui, he..."
Wan Lan glanced at Nanny Gui who was about to cry, "What's wrong with him? You should tell me quickly!"
"Master Cui said Governor Pei's carriage looks like a coffin."
"What?" Wan Lan was so angry that she sat upright. She quickly justified herself: "The carriage of Governor Pei is indeed like a coffin. Everyone in Kyoto knows about it. Does he want to arrest people even after saying this?"
"No, Master Cui said something. He said that Governor Pei is a dead eunuch."
Wan Lan remained motionless, unable to explain herself, and the expression on her face froze.
"That Cui Yunfeng, does he think he has a long life? Oh my god, what evil have I done? Why would it be better to save this dead star and let the Chengyang Marquis Mansion die off his descendants?"
Wan Lan couldn't bear it any longer. She paced around the room and finally made up her mind: "Where is the Duke? Are you back? Go and ask the Duke to come over."
Even the Duke is afraid of Pei Heng, that jade-faced Rakshasa, but Cui Yunfeng dares to call him a dead eunuch?
He really thinks he has a long life!
