Chen Dianshi didn't know that there were two wives in Cui Lang, so he laughed after listening to Cui Xie's words: "No, it's only natural for the eldest brother to discipline the younger brother. How can there be parents who hold grudges for it?"
This thief dared to slander his master when he was imprisoned, which shows how arrogant he was when he was outside.
The red-headed sign between his fingers loosened and fell crisply to the ground. The sound of the board and the sign sounded at the same time, and it slapped his ass. Cui Ming screamed "Ow Ow" and said with tears streaming down his face: "Sir, the little one didn't lie! My mistress is the successor, the eldest young master is from the original wife, the eldest young master..."
Cui Xie took a slap on the arm of the official chair, and said in shock and anger: "Please shut up the mouth of this evil servant immediately, and don't let him slander Jiaci any more! He just spread rumors and ruined my reputation. Ci is the daughter of the chief clerk of Taichang Temple, and the five-rank conferred by the imperial court is pleasant, gentle and virtuous, how can you treat me lightly because she is not a biological child?"
Why can't it, there is no stepmother in the world who truly loves the son of the former room... Chen Dianshi secretly laughed in his heart, but his face was tensed.
He also didn't want to know the secrets of the Cui family, so he directly asked Cui Xie to take the servant's confession of slandering the master, stealing and selling the master's property. There was a book office nearby to record the content of the court trial, and handed it over to Cui Xie to read it, and asked him to sign it below.
Fortunately, he read the "Four Books" once in the morning. The cover of the book contained the name of the original body. When he signed it, he opened the PDF document and traced it, and then dipped in cinnabar and pressed his fingerprints.
Cui Ming had also been pampered at home for many years. When the board came down, he was paralyzed. However, the secretary had neither pity nor patience for him, so he stuck a pen and told him to draw a note. He struggled and refused to sign, and called himself the second steward of Lang Zhongfu, and the master and wife would decide for him.
Chen Dianshi was still waiting for Ying Qin to enter the yamen today. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so he directly waved his hand and let him drag him down: "I'll put him in the prison first, and then wait for the eldest master to judge in person."
After dragging him down, Chen Dianshi called the witnesses to court, pointed to the evidence brought by Cui Xie, and recorded his testimony one by one.
Others were still talking about what they saw. Only the driver, who was suspected of selling off the owner's wealth, spared no effort to put the blame on Cui Ming. The first-class seats of more than a dozen taels of silver were turned over clearly.
Without waiting for Chen Dianshi to ask, he swears and swears: "Young master also has 112 taels of vegetables, fish and meat within a month, as well as newly-made pills and good medicinal materials, fine silk clothes, purses, jade pendants, etc. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone... If he hadn't stolen it on the road, where would he have spent so much money on the road!"
According to the law of the Great Ming Dynasty, stealing more than a dozen copper coins is enough to be convicted. Cui Ming is not only 20 or 30 taels of silver, but if he really steals and sells the owner's property, he will add two more grades to the crime of stealing than ordinary people, and he is lucky if he can live for 3,000 miles. of.
Chen Dianshi took the confession, imprisoned the prisoner, and warned the witnesses to live well in the county. The rest is to let Zaoli go to the capital Cuifu and the driver to collect evidence from the places mentioned by the driver.
He got down from the hall and said gently, "Young Master Cui, just go back to the house with peace of mind. The evidence in this case is conclusive. The county honorable Lord Qi and this official will uphold justice for you."
The imperial envoys from left and right had not come yet, and Chen Dianshi also had the heart to deal with this young master, so he simply took his hand and sent him out of the second hall with affection.
When I went out, I saw a small official rushing into the courtyard and shouting: "Fourth Master, the imperial commissioner is here! The imperial commissioner entered the city from the west gate, and is about to come to our yamen!"
Chen Dianshi frowned - it's finally here! The county magistrate and the county magistrate went to wait outside the city early in the morning to welcome the imperial envoy. After waiting for so long, the imperial envoy finally entered the city! He shook the official robe on his body, and asked seriously, "Why can't you hold your breath, where is the difference? Why don't you order people to open the middle door, prepare refreshments, and welcome the difference into the ya!"
Chen Dianshi arranged his subordinates in a few words, turned around, and said to Cui Xie with some regret: "This official is going to bring people to meet the imperial envoy at this moment, and my nephew will bring these people back first, and I will meet my nephew next time when I have time. Long talk."
Cui Xie understood it very well, he said goodbye to the envoy, and led someone to leave the yamen with Zao officials.
Not wanting them to just go out through the corner gate, they ran into a group of Zaoliqing Street, followed by a large green sedan chair, two green sedan chairs, and a group of angry horses in fresh clothes, which looked like something from a TV series. Jinyiwei's men escorted the sedan chair.
Someone next to him murmured: "Jin Yiwei... Didn't the little official say that he was injured for the court, and also involved Jin Yiwei or something? These Jin Yiwei came to our Qian'an, shouldn't they have something to do with you?"
How could it be, he just bumped into someone to handle the case and was rescued, but he didn't really help.
Cui Xie shook his head and led people to the other side of the official road at a faster speed. The cart was not easy to turn, and the Zaoli at the door also helped them push the cart. After such a toss, the people behind the horses noticed them, and someone came running from the outside of the guard of honor and shouted: "Who is blocking the county? At the entrance of the yamen, don't leave quickly!"
Zaoli next to him hurriedly turned around and replied, "This young man came to the yamen to complain, Cui Xie, the son of Cui Langzhong of the Ministry of Housing, and these are witnesses, and they are about to leave."
Cui Xie couldn't help but look up. The Jinyiwei wore a black gauze hat and bright red, and his appearance was somewhat familiar. He seemed to be one of the two Jinyiwei who had inspected his car in Tongzhou. The man was also a little surprised to see him, and asked, "Cui Xiaoguanren, what are you complaining about?"
While they were talking, the leading Zaoli separated to both sides, the green sedan chair was carried to the front of the office, and a soft and delicate voice came from inside, asking with a bit of playfulness, "Young Master Cui? But that righteous man? Helping Jin Yiwei to capture Xu Mou, a demon from the White Lotus Sect, a brave and strong man who was still battered, Cui Xie and Cui Yishi?"
… Who
From Taojing craftsmen to neighbors to Cui Yuan and his son to Cui Xie himself, it is difficult for him to be related to the "courageous and strong man" in the mouth, and Zaoli is even more confused, standing there for a long time without saying no clear.
The Jin Yiwei jumped off the horse, saluted the sedan chair with one knee, and replied, "It's Cui Xie and Cui Yishi."
From the back of the sedan, a horse-drawn horse followed a Jinyiwei who was wearing a green official uniform and embroidered Xiongji Buzi on his chest. He stopped the horse, lowered his head and said to Jinyiwei: "Dong Xiaowei, you should step back first, Mr. Cui is not Wait for the murderer."
These words were spoken softly, and the voice was quite familiar, as if it was Xie Qianhu.
Cui Xie quietly raised his head and looked up, and the dazzling blue and green eyes came into view. Huisa's chest was not empty like last time, but was embroidered with Xiong Shibuzi, Xie Qianhu straightened up and looked at him from the horse, still smiling, his expression gentle and pleasant, not like an imperial envoy, but like It's like coming to autumn.
He took a deep look at Cui Xie, leaned sideways to the car window and said, "Eunuch Gao, there are many people outside, let's talk after entering the county office."
The people in the sedan lifted the curtains and laughed, "No hurry, which one is Cui Yishi? Since it is a coincidence that we can see the righteous people at the gate of the county government, our family must first see the style of Cui Zhuangshi. "
Xie Qianhu replied: "Father-in-law, please look, that is Cui Yishi. Even though he is small in stature, he is flexible and powerful. That day in Tongzhou, he fought to the death and wounded the face of the demon Xu Mou, making him lose his resistance. With his strength, it is easy for the lower officials to arrest him and bring him to justice.”
Cui Xie lowered his head silently, bowed to the ground, and said, "Cui Xie has seen father-in-law and all of you adults". The neighbors behind him were even more frightened by this group of rare bigwigs, and they knelt on the ground.
Eunuch Gao, a cousin of the people, got off the sedan himself, lifted him up with his arms, and said with a smile: "The righteous man, please get up quickly. Cui Yishi forgot his life for the country, fought bloody battles against the demons, after the saint heard your righteous deeds. I also consulted for a long time and praised you as a loyal and righteous person, how can our family receive your courtesy.”
The more he looked at Cui Xie, the more satisfied he became, and he sighed: "It's really not a person's appearance. I only heard that Cui Yishi is young, but he doesn't want to be so handsome and gentle. Such a young man can actually wear wounds and blood, and fight against a powerful monster with martial arts. Since ancient times, heroes have been young."
Cui Xie had just turned black and white in the hall and touted the person who killed his enemy without hitting Ben Er. Hearing his sincere compliment, his face became slightly hot.
That's not all his credit, but the credit of Xie Qianhu, the others, and countless White Lotus Sect-related movies and TV series of later generations. In fact, what he did was not enough.
He immediately clarified the facts, but Xie Qianhu said, "You don't need to be humble, Young Master Cui. When the demon took you as a hostage that day, your ramming and rolling were just right. If you hadn't broken the bridge of the demon's nose, making him I couldn't keep my eyes open, I couldn't breathe well, and I didn't capture him so smoothly. Eunuch Gao has honored your meritorious deeds by the central decree, so you can just accept it with peace of mind."
Doesn't it mean that he won't be honored when he is alive
Cui Xie glanced at Xie Qianhu in confusion, but Xie Qianhu didn't seem to understand his suggestion, so he smiled and said, "Young Master Cui is overjoyed. If you like it, go home and sweep the courtyard and open the middle door. Prepare the incense case and prepare to receive the order?"
The county magistrate Qi Sheng also rushed over with the county magistrate at this time, hurried up to compliment a few words, and instructed his master: "Young Master Cui has never been in such a big event, you must bring someone to help with the arrangement, it must not be taken lightly."
Cui Xie quickly said goodbye to everyone and went back to prepare for the order.
Not wanting Eunuch Gao, he held his hand and said, "Young Master Cui is not busy leaving. Our family seemed to hear that you are coming to the county government to file a complaint? Who do you want to sue? If you have any grievances, just tell them here. Qixian Zun will decide for you - there are people who he can't afford to offend, and Jin Yiwei and our family are here, and the righteous people must not be humiliated by the hands of villains."
Cui Xie said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness and love. The neighbors in Qian'an are honest and honest, and no one has ever bullied me. In Wansheng, with the help of the neighbors, he just caught a thief who was behind his master. Chen Dianshi in the yamen has already imprisoned him. The county magistrate is wise, and I think the case will be closed soon."
The county magistrate Qi nodded again and again.
Eunuch Gao smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "It turns out to be such a trivial matter. Such a thief and slave who steals against their masters, even if they are killed, it is nothing. Since Young Master Cui has brought people here, the order will be obeyed. Sentence it, don't let the righteous be wronged."
