Entering March, the climate in Luoyang is obviously warmer, the wind carries a gentle moistness, and you can vaguely smell the unique earthy smell of spring.
Willows, peaches and plums are vying to sprout, blooming bustlingly by the street. There is a row of apricot blossoms in front of Ruyi restaurant, the light pink apricot blossoms are all over the branches, and it looks like a cloud of crimson from a distance, surrounding the three-storey restaurant. A magpie was standing on a branch, chirping. Someone passed by under the tree. The magpie was frightened and flew away. Its movements startled the treetops, the branches trembled slightly, and the fine petals fell from the branches, like a pink rain.
Li Chaoge walked through the apricot blossom rain and walked into the Ruyi Building. Today she is wearing a brown-green jacket and a garnet-red long skirt. The pink apricot flowers in the white are stained on her clothes, like a lady who has just stepped out of a painting.
The waiter in Ruyi Building was welcoming customers, when he turned his head and saw Li Chaoge, his words got stuck. He saw a woman splitting flowers and brushing willows, and walked into the restaurant through a large group of light pink halos, thinking that he had seen an illusion. When Li Chaoge stepped over the threshold, she looked around and asked, "There is a guest surnamed Bai? He ordered a table of wine with you. Where is he?"
The waiter in the shop finally came to his senses as if waking up from a dream, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead Li Chaoge and said, "So you are the nobleman that the guest officer is waiting for? My lady, please come with me."
Li Chaoge went all the way up to the third floor. As soon as she stepped on the stairs, Bai Qianhe leaned out and waved to her. Li Chaoge knew where they were, she nodded to the waiter, and motioned: "I? saw? them, sorry, you can go back."
The shop waiter agreed and left flattered. I don't know why, when facing this woman, the waiter always wants to obey subconsciously, even when she smiles at them, the waiter feels that it is God's grace.
The shop clerk scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.
Li Chaoge walked to the wine table, sat down, and asked, "You called me? Why are you here?"
Bai Qianhe knew that Li Chaoge never touched the drinks outside, so he didn't hesitate, opened the door and said straight to the point: "Princess, Mo Dalang has been released."
"What?" Li Chaoge frowned, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold, "What's going on?"
Bai Qianhe sighed, poured a glass of wine for himself and Zhou Shao, and said leisurely: "It's a long story. We arrested the monster and Mo's father and daughter ten days ago, and the monster was guarded by the princess. Father and daughter were thrown into Dali Temple Prison. Zhou Shao and I were not familiar with the imperial court. We thought that if we caught the prisoner, we would be beheaded and exiled, and we would be fine. As a result, someone today? See Arrived? Mo Dalang has returned home."
Li Chaoge's face was sullen, and his expression was extremely displeased. If it was changed to the previous life, Raksha Bird and the related suspects would be brought to justice, and they would have to be sent to the Prison of the Demon Lord. However, this generation of Demon Suppressing Division has not yet been established. Li Chaoge does not have his own case-handling agency, nor does he have an independent prison. He can only let the Beiya Imperial Army guard Luocha Bird. According to the rules, the other two suspects should be detained by Dali Temple. The person Li Chaoge captured by herself was sent to the Dali Temple. She was already unhappy about it. In the end, the Dali Temple released her person
Li Chaoge took a deep breath, controlled his temper, and said as politely as possible: "These little bastards in Dali Temple, who allows them to let them go?"
Bai Qianhe spread his hands and said: "I don't know. According to Mo Dalang's wife, Mo Dalang didn't know the existence of monsters from the beginning to the end. He trusted his daughter Mo Linlang, and she tricked him out of Luoyang. Later... Mo Linlang colluded with Rakshasa and intended to kill his father. Unexpectedly, when Rakshasa bird exposed him, Mo Linlang became furious and pulled out his knife, intending to kill Mo Dalang with his own hands. When the two of them were fighting, they were bumped into by the princess. Afterwards, he was taken back to the capital by the princess. After being interrogated by the officials of Dali Temple, he learned that the Sunrise City was indeed Mo Linlang's idea. The father confessed badly, and even clamored to kill Mo Dalang in front of the Dali Temple officials. The Dali Temple felt that it was treasonous and immoral, so it took Mo Linlang into custody. Will there be a public trial in the future, and Mo Dalang will be acquitted? released."
Li Chaoge's anger kept rising, and when she heard it, she moved her wrist silently, already thinking about whether she would be fined if she smashed the Dali Temple. She took a deep breath and asked, "Is it true that Mo Linlang killed his father? Could it be that Mo Dalang shirked responsibility in order to get rid of the crime, or that Dali Temple used torture to close the case as soon as possible?"
Bai Qianhe shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either. Zhou Shao has been silent all the time, heard? Here, he suddenly said: "Did Dali Temple torture me? I don't know, but it should be true that Mo Linlang wanted to kill her father."
"Oh?" Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Shao, "How do you say that?"
"There is a gangster in the west city. He used to work under me. When he learned about my work at the Chamo family, he told me something. He said that the daughter of the Mo family, E?, was strange, as if she could see Because of some dirty things, she has been out of tune with the people around her since she was a child. Because of this, people in this area don't want to get too close to her, and children are beaten by their parents and are not allowed to play with Mo Linlang. ?After her mother died, she became more and more taciturn, and her behavior became more and more strange. Other little ladies may not have the courage, but if it is her, it is possible. "
When Li Chaoge heard this, he frowned instinctively and asked, "How did her mother die?"
Zhou Shao seemed to sigh, and said in a low voice, "She was beaten to death by her father."
Li Chaoge was so surprised that even Bai Qianhe put down his wine glass and asked in disbelief, "Who was beaten to death?"
Zhou Shao nodded, indicating that they were right. Li Chaoge's face turned completely cold, she thought for a while, and asked with some understanding: "When Mo Dalang beat her mother to death, did she see it?"
"Yes. I heard that Mo Dalang has always had this problem. He has been beating him for many years. That time, he lost control of his hand and threw his mother onto the stove. She accidentally hit her head on the edge of a brick and killed her directly. Mo Dalang After restraining himself for several years, he later married a widow and saw that no one was going to pursue him. He slowly backed up, and recently started to do it again."
Li Chaoge didn't understand why Mo Linlang wanted to help the Raksha Bird out of the city. Now, after hearing Zhou Shao's words, he thought it was no wonder that Mo Linlang was willing to help the monster. If it was Li Chaoge, she would kill Mo Dalang even if she went to jail. People? Scum. The Rakshabird is also good at deceiving people's minds. It seems that the Rakshabird made a deal with Mo Linlang. Mo Linlang believed it was true and helped the Rakshabird escape. When the promise was finally fulfilled, the Rakshabird quit.
When Li Chaoge heard this, she could only sigh, and she asked, "Even if Mo Linlang was guilty of killing his father, he failed after all, and Mo Dalang also killed someone? Why did Mo Linlang be arrested alone, but Mo Dalang was released?"
"This is the court's verdict, I don't understand it." After Zhou Shao finished speaking, he was silent for a while, then said in a muffled voice, "It's actually not surprising. Princess, you are a member of the royal family, and you don't understand the unspoken rules of the people. □□Killing officials, wives killing husbands, and sons killing fathers are all punishable. Mo Linlang is a woman and a junior, so she will definitely not end well."
Three people? All speechless. After a moment of silence, Bai Qianhe frowned and asked, "Is this the way it is? We hunted monsters to uphold justice and eliminate harm for the people, but in the end we caught a monster who avenged his mother." Daughter, let out a murderer with blood on his hands. Then what is the point of us doing all this?"
"The charges have not yet been determined, and it's too early to say these things now." Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was not right, Li Chaoge immediately stopped Bai Qianhe's words, and said firmly and calmly, "Dali Temple is only releasing the suspect initially. , how to proceed with the trial, how to convict, how to sentence, there is no conclusion. I? Go to check the death of Mo Linlang's mother. What's the secret?"
Although Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao are well-known in the world, but to put it bluntly, they are just two common people. They have no understanding of the court and no energy, but Li Chaoge is the only one among them who has the ability to change everything? And Li Chaoge's chivalrous spirit and sense of justice also made Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao willing to trust her.
They are born with a distaste for the government, especially politicians who turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, but Li Chaoge strangely combines the two identities of a knight-errant and a court politician, but he is not annoying at all.
If these words were spoken by other officials, Zhou Shao would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word, but if it was Li Chaoge, he felt that maybe there was a turning point.
He wanted to get rid of the charges and regain his freedom, but it didn't mean that Zhou Shao was willing to be the eagle's claw of the imperial court, harming innocent? People? Going to prison.
Li Chaoge's expression was very calm, with a confident look, he successfully stabilized Zhou Shao and Bai Qianhe. Li Chaoge showed strength, but he was sighing in his heart. It's too uncomfortable to have no title. If she had a demon town under her command, they would make their own decisions from arresting, trial to finalizing the case. How could such a thing happen? It's all right now, they are arresting people, Dali Temple has finalized the case, and the right to speak is in the hands of others, so it's not like jumping out of anger.
Li Chaoge once again made up her mind that she must establish a town demon division as soon as possible, otherwise, she would be making wedding clothes for others, and everything she did would be controlled by others. Because of Mo Linlang's episode, the atmosphere at the table was slightly awkward. At this time, there was a noise outside, which attracted the attention of the three of them.
Li Chaoge took advantage of the opportunity to change the subject, she called the waiter, rewarded him with a bunch of copper coins, and asked, "What's going on outside, why is it so lively?"
The waiter in the shop accepted the reward, and said happily: "Returning to my lady, this year's Jinshi has been released. Luoyang's eldest daughter-in-law and young girls are catching sons-in-law under the emperor's list, so there is such a big commotion."
"Oh?" Hearing the imperial examination, Li Chaoge remembered someone and asked, "Who are the Jinshi candidates this year?"
"Twenty people were enrolled in the Jinshi department, and fifteen people were enrolled in the Jingshi department in the Ming Dynasty. There was only one person in the law department in the Ming Dynasty."
one person?? Li Chaoge raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She already knew who this person was. Sure enough, the clerk in the shop had sold enough, so he said with a smile: "This year, the student of Ming Fa Ke is amazing. Not only does he have good grades, but he also has outstanding looks. There are so many people outside? Going to watch the rankings is for the sake of See this person?"
Li Chaoge smiled lightly, and felt sad again after laughing. As soon as she finished scolding Dali Temple, Gu Ming Ke passed the exam. This is the only surviving seedling of Ming Fa Ke. Presumably, he will be snatched away by the group of old antiques in Dali Temple.
Li Chaoge asked: "Where is the new Jinshi now?"
"He has already entered the palace. The saint? After hearing about the release of the rankings, he deliberately called everyone into the palace to inquire in person. I heard that the saint? This time he will not only test the knowledge of Jinshi, but also... They should be ranked first, and those who rank first can be given priority in appointing officials."
There is no doubt that this approach must be suggested by Tianhou? In the past few years, the admission of imperial examinations was completely decided by the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor and queen of heaven had little right to participate. The Ministry of Rites determines the number of recruits and the selection of candidates, and then these candidates are sent to the Ministry of Officials, which conducts an examination for appointing officials. If you fail the examination, even if you pass the Jinshi examination, you will not be able to become an official.
There are advantages and disadvantages to this move. Reciting poems and prose and serving as an official are indeed two different things. Some people are talented and may not be suitable for being an official. But this also led to the delay in the ability of Tianhou to enter the court's field of vision. With Tianhou?'s personality, how could she let others choke her throat? Since she couldn't intervene in the process of appointing an official, that day Hou? would add a program by herself and hold the imperial examination.
She personally appointed the first, second and third. If the Ministry of Officials does not appoint officials, it will be unreasonable. What's more, looking at the meaning of Tianhou?, she didn't pass the official department at all, and it is estimated that the official position will be determined on the spot in the palace examination.
Li Chaoge is interested, and she also wants to see how Gu Mingke will deal with Tianhou? Question and answer. Li Chaoge stood up, threw a string of money on the table, and said, "You guys continue to drink, and I? Go to the palace to see."
Both Zhou Shao and Bai Qianhe now have no source of livelihood, in other words, they are being raised by Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge paid the bill, and they remained silent, continuing to eat and drink calmly. Seeing that this beautiful and rich Jin is going out, the waiter in the shop let out a sigh, and asked, "Lady, why don't you ask Ming? What is the name of Mr. Fa Ke? All the ladies outside are going crazy. "
Li Chaoge chuckled lightly, held the sword, and walked down the stairs quickly: "No need to ask. I know."
Didn't she just go to the nearby water tower to win the moon first
