old grace

Xie Qinghe drank a couple of cups of tea at his residence, and originally wanted to stay in peace and wait for his younger brother to come back.

However, the rules of living in a wealthy businessman's home are not strict, and there are always little maids who sneak up to see him holding hands. At first, they watch from a distance through the courtyard gate, and can't help but look forward after seeing him.Xie Qinghe had no choice but to put the roasted sweet potatoes on a plate, go back to the house and sit down to peel them slowly.

Who would have thought that the little maids who are keen on beautiful men are so bold that they would not see Xie Qinghe who was drinking tea in the porch, and would dare to poke the window paper quietly.

With this posture, he might come in to help peel the sweet potatoes.

It's not that Xie Qinghe is self-confident and unwilling to associate with maids, but because of his status as the real master of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, he must not be stigmatized as "seducing the maidservant".Just looking at the appearance of these little maids laughing and breaking into the men's quarters, one can tell that there are no rules in this house.If something weird is going to happen, no one can tell.

What's more, this is still the home of the disciples of Jianhuzhuang, so if there is a little rumor, it will be even more serious.

Xie Qinghe was helpless, so he had no choice but to change into unremarkable clothes, propped up an oil-paper umbrella standing in the corner of the house, and went out to go shopping in the street.

There was a light snowfall last night, and it didn't stop, and the ground turned into thin ice.The street is still as lively as before. Men wear cotton robes and cotton hats and gloves, or they are doing physical work in full swing, or they are hunching their necks at the street stalls and drinking soup. Fragrant and gingery food taste.

Xie Qinghe bought two meatloaf at the stall.

The pancake seller in front of the stove was a young woman wearing an apron. Xie Qinghe stood in front of the stove for a while, and found that the woman was meticulously dressed, probably because her family was not well-off, she didn't wear any jewelry, she just wrapped it with a cloth handkerchief The bun is also very decent and neat.

Only when she picked up the meatloaf with a short-handled wooden shovel, the big bruises on her hands were shocking.

Pancakes are ready in no time.

At this time of winter and the twelfth lunar month, there were no broad leaves available, so the little woman wrapped pancakes in oiled paper and handed them over: "Chenghui twelve cents."

Xie Qinghe didn't bring loose change with him, and wanted to give her a dime of silver, but his eyes fell on the lazy man leaning against the stove in a daze, so he groped in his arms, found some coins from his portable space, and counted twelve Accounts.

The woman happily collected the copper coins, and blessed herself slightly: "Your guest, let's go."

Xie Qinghe never smiled at her, just nodded, turned around and concentrated on the pancake, and lowered his head to take a bite.

The taste is ok.The scallions are mixed with the salty aroma of minced meat, and there is also the burnt aroma of pancakes rolled in oil and water. The combination of the three most rustic flavors of staple food, meat, and seasonings.It is rare that the heat is properly controlled, at least five years of pancake skill.

After eating delicious pancakes, Xie Qinghe wanted to share them with his younger brother.It's too early to think about bringing my junior here tomorrow.

He had just left the pancake stand, walked only six steps, and took a second bite of the meatloaf.

The young woman who received the cake money happily counted the money again, and was about to put it into the money box when the man who had been sitting lazily warming himself by the fire suddenly stood up and slapped the young woman on the face with his backhand.

The young woman didn't dare to laugh immediately.

The man kicked the young woman's knees and hipbones from behind the stall in an unobtrusive posture, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Look at your flirtatious bastard! You laugh when you see Qingjun! Buy you!" You didn't give a reward for a piece of cake, but you hurriedly squatted down to salute, and if you take one more look at the handsome man, can you go to heaven?"

The young woman didn't say a word, but bent her knees slightly in embarrassment and flattery, and said: "The head of the family calms down."

The man kicked her hard again, took the copper coins from her hand, put them into the money box, then sat back down again, and continued to warm the fire.

The young woman also quickly returned to the stove, tidying up the green onion seasoning on the stall, busy to welcome the next guest.

Xie Qinghe's footsteps stopped for a moment, and he didn't continue to walk until the small disturbance behind him subsided.

He couldn't bear the sight of the strong bullying the weak and men bullying women. However, even if this matter was related to him, he couldn't help him.

This woman will always live with her husband for the rest of her life.Just met by chance and bought two cakes, the woman was kicked and slapped, if he really came forward to coordinate a few words, even if he can uphold justice now, where he can't see, the woman will What happened? ——He couldn't just take the woman away, could he?Regardless of whether the man is willing or not, the woman may not be willing.

Xie Qinghe cultivates the way of the world, and likes to walk in the market, see all kinds of things in the world, and taste the coolness of the world.

There is not only bullying and tyranny in this world.

The store selling steamed stuffed buns gave alms to the lame old man begging for food along the street, the young father who had just unloaded his car and made a lot of money took his little daughter by the hand and bought her a bunch of candied haws, and the two brothers discussed selling themselves to their old mother while wiping away tears at the door of the pharmacy To treat illnesses, the compassionate old doctor said, ouch, first buy a few cheap herbal medicines on credit, and then pay back when you have money.

Walking on the street, you can see the tyranny of the world, but also the kindness of the world.

Heavy traffic, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

It is the world.

Xie Qinghe walked around the street for a long time, and happened to be near the inn where he stayed first, so he wanted to see the horses left at the inn, and told Yun Chao that he wanted to take care of the horses and hadn't returned all night.He also planned to have a meal at the inn.

Unexpectedly, the uncle, the second uncle and the newly bought San Xiaobao were all there in the stable, but the shop waiter said that he had never seen Yun Chao come back.

Xie Qinghe immediately paid attention to Yun Chao who was carrying a unicorn A Shou of unknown origin.

After leaving the inn, Xie Qinghe immediately followed Yun Chao's body to look for the faint aura.

Fortunately, Yun Chao did not go far, Xie Qinghe crossed half of Xingcheng, and found Yun Chao who was cooking in a poor old courtyard.

A rotten stove, a broken pot, the curling heat rises in the cold wind, there are bacon and cabbage rolling porridge and rice in the pot.

Yun Chao was sprinkling salt into the pot, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't look very happy.

Another girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with gauze wrapped around her hair and a new padded coat Yun Chao just got, was sitting on a small bench not far from Yun Chao, staring at Yun Chao non-stop.Xie Qinghe looked the girl up and down a few times, and asked aloud: "Where did you pick up the girl?"

Only then did Yun Chao realize that Xie Qinghe was standing outside the courtyard gate.

In an instant.

The girl was about to pounce on Yun Chao, when the Hanjiang sword ring between Xie Qinghe's fingers flew out at some point, and the sword came from someone.

"Uh..." Xie Qinghe's hand holding the sword was extremely steady, and the tip of the sword rested on the girl's throat.The girl had no choice but to freeze on the spot, her eyes rolled, and she pointed at the sword with green fingertips, "Good...a fast sword."

Yun Chao actually complained to Xie Qinghe: "Master, she is a fox!"

"You can't beat a fox?" Xie Qinghe was also speechless, "I was held hostage by a fox all night, and I was robbed of my clothes by the fox, and I even cooked for the fox? What about your sword?" What Xie Qinghe wants to ask most is, what is your future?

Yun Chao's sword ring was tied between his fingers, and it was not taken away by the fox."She hides in Sisi's skin," he explained.

Si Si is the girl in front of her with her head smashed.

Xie Qinghe found it difficult to deal with the monster race, because once the monster race turned into a human form, it would be difficult for Xie Qinghe to recognize their real bodies.

"It was she who voluntarily gave her body to me, and I didn't take her skin by force. I can't practice with her skin. I'm saving her life. If I didn't get into her skin, she would have died several times now. It's been two hours." The fox carefully avoided Xie Qinghe's sword, pointed to the wound on his forehead, "Either I untie the bandage and show you, it's a big hole."

"Then why did you hold my sword servant hostage?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"I can't beat him, how did I hold him hostage?" The fox rolled his eyes, "Ask him! How did I hold him hostage?"

Yun Chao tilted his head and did not speak.

Xie Qinghe frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe would get angry, Yun Chao immediately took a step back, bowed his knees and bowed: "She is held hostage by Sisi's skin, if I refuse to obey her order, she will kill Sisi's body. I know I shouldn't." Under her coercion, I mishandled this matter, and I am convicted."

"You won't bring her to see me?" Xie Qinghe put away his sword ring and patted Sisi's shoulder with his palm.

A white-haired fox, like a fur falling from Sisi's body, landed deftly on the ground, turned around and ran away.Seeing Xie Qinghe supporting Sisi, the sword ring in Yun Chao's hand suddenly turned into a long sword, he remembered the evil spirit in the sword again, so he had to catch the fox with his bare hands.

The fox ran fast, and Yun Chao was not slow in chasing it, and soon chased it out of the yard.

Xie Qinghe had no time to look after him, so he checked Si Si's situation first.The fox was not lying when he said that Sisi was seriously injured and dying. The skull on the side of Sisi's head was smashed, and her hair and bones were all clotted with blood clots.The demon blood suppressed her source of life, which prevented her body from deteriorating and collapsing.

Xie Qinghe put one hand against Sisi's Mingmen acupoint, turning his true energy into extremely fine wind and rain, and poured it in tricklingly.

Fortunately, both of his hands are dexterous, and he can free up the other hand to clean up the wound on Sisi's head, debridement, stop bleeding, and bandage, all in one go without much effort.The standing medicine in the portable space is very complete, and with the assistance of real essence, Sisi's condition quickly stabilized.

At this time, Xie Qinghe had the time to look at this small house with four walls.The yard itself is a small space separated, and the house is also mostly separated by bricks, with only half a window and a small door.There was a rotten bed against the wall, and the bamboo mat was spread on the rotten tiles picked up from nowhere as a countertop, and an iron stick for holding the lamp was scribbled on it—but the lamp went to nowhere.

Other than that, there was only a tattered quilt left in this room, a pair of dirty shoes in the corner, and nothing else.

It also has more roofs and walls to shelter from wind and rain than the streets.

At this moment, Xie Qinghe suddenly found that the quilt looked a little strange.It is not the appearance of a normal person tidying up, nor is it the appearance of a person throwing it on the bed after getting up.The quilt was pulled up to form a small nest.

——When Fu Chuan A Shou made a nest, the blanket was in a similar state.

Xie Qinghe got up and bent over to look, and found some white fox fur in the small nest made of torn quilts.

It appears that the fox was not lying.

She and Sisi are friends, and it is very likely that she was raised by Sisi before, so she would possess her body to save her life when Sisi was about to die.

■

The white fox ran and cried: "Why are you chasing after me? Are you really going to peel my skin for a scarf?"

Yun Chao didn't say a word, and chased after him with his head down.

The white fox ran like a ray of light. At the beginning, he ran towards a secluded place, but found that Yun Chao was relentlessly chasing him, and he really couldn't get rid of him.Unexpectedly, Yun Chao's tracking ability is terrible, the fox runs on the ground, he flies on the wall, people are like a cold wind, no one has noticed his existence at all.

The fox in a panic got into the bathhouse, ran out of the ditch again, looked up and found that Yun Chao was still behind him!

The fox got into the market again, wandering around in various stalls and shops.

Yun Chao did not change his face and sprinkled gold leaves, unhurriedly uncovering the bamboo basket of this family, and then moved the dustpan of that family. Catch that naughty little pet?"

The fox ran faster in a hurry.

In the end the fox got into a brothel, and the whores were sleeping in broad daylight, and only the little girls were working.

The fox stole a suit of clothes from nowhere, turned into a human form, and pretended to be a girl to fish in troubled waters.After such a slight delay, she was caught by Yun Chao who came in through the window—Yun Chao grabbed her arm, and the fox wanted to escape in its original form, but Yun Chao grabbed her in his hand.

"Can't you let me go?" the white fox said, crying pitifully.

Yun Chao was afraid that it would scare the people along the street if it opened its mouth, so he carried it out the window and went straight to the roof.

The fox was crying all the time, begging for mercy.

Yun Chao was disturbed by it, and said: "You have never harmed anyone, the master will not kill you." He actually took Ah Shou out of the bag and showed the white fox, "Isn't she all right?"

"kitten?"

The white fox froze when it saw Ah Shou, closed its two little claws, looked A Shou up and down for a while, and said in amazement: "She, she is a lin! Where did you catch a lin? How could she squat? So good in your bag?! What delicious food did you give her?"

Ah Shou looked at the white fox curiously, both eyes were full of innocence.

Yun Chao didn't answer, he stuffed Ah Shou into his bag, and continued running back with the white-haired fox in one hand.

The fox twisted the twist in his hand: "Who the hell are you, and who was the one holding the sword just now? Tell me quickly! I won't go back, that person will kill the fox without blinking an eye, he won't let me go! I I'm going to bite you!"

"If you dare to bite me, I will hold your tail." Yun Chao threatened.

The fox bared his teeth, but he still didn't dare to bite down, and started crying again: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Yun Chao dug out from his bag, took out a fiery red fox fur, and said, "That's what it's like to be naughty."

The fox suddenly became even more sad: "I don't want to be a scarf..."

Yun Chao picked it up, combed it carefully, and said, "The white one looks good."

The fox froze for a moment, then burst into tears: "Mother!"

"Stop crying!" Yun Chao said angrily.

The fox was terrified, and stopped talking instantly, with a sparkling teardrop remaining in the corner of his eye.

When Yun Chao brought the fox back to the small courtyard, the fox was completely wilted, and it curled up in his hand obediently, not daring to say a word.

The room was too narrow, Yun Chao bowed in front of the door: "Master, I've been caught."

Xie Qinghe took the bedding and pillows from the portable space, placed Sisi on the only bed, heard the sound and came out, lifted the lid of the pot, took the bowls and chopsticks from the space, and put the rice out.He ordered three sets of bowls and chopsticks, he and Yun Chao each had a pair, and the fox also had one.

In the dilapidated small courtyard, beside the broken stove and broken pot, Xie Qinghe sat on a small bench, and could eat comfortably.

Yun Chao had long been used to his temper, so he ate along without saying a word.

Only the frightened fox couldn't figure out what was going on. He squatted on the stove and ate a few mouthfuls of food, then looked up at Xie Qinghe, and then at Yun Chao. I had no choice but to accept my fate and continue to eat...

Xie Qinghe found that the fox was very funny. He was a little hesitant at first, but he forgot all his troubles while eating, and his eyebrows flew up.

After the meal was finished without any surprise, the fox licked the basin.

"How long have you been here?" Xie Qinghe asked.

The fox still had grains of rice hanging from its sharp beak, and said, "You can tell by my appearance that I'm here... for three months."

This is a little fox.The fox is young and weak, apparently just born.She also didn't learn many useful human skills. Apart from possession, her greatest skill is to escape.When resisting Yun Chao, he would just bark his teeth and say that I will bite you.

"What's your relationship with Sisi?" Xie Qinghe asked again.

The fox said proudly: "I am her lady, and she is my maid!"

"Why did you choose her to be your maid?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"She's pleasing to the eye." The fox didn't say that Si Si took her home from the grass and raised her with rice soup.

Xie Qinghe nodded, turned around and asked Yun Chao: "How did you and Miss Sisi meet?"

Yun Chao felt that he had handled this matter poorly.Xie Qinghe was asking about the reason, but he was somewhat ashamed, stood up and bowed his head and replied: "Last night when I was going back to the inn, I passed by the back alley of a brothel, Sisi was fighting with her brother, I heard that the cause of the incident was that Sisi's brother wanted to Sell ​​her into a brothel...and help out."

Yun Chao seldom meddles in other people's affairs.He didn't have much compassion for people, and he didn't feel himself capable of relief.

The reason why Si Si moved him to feel compassion was because he also had the experience of being betrayed when he was a child.The Shangguan family adopted orphans as outer disciples, those with good aptitude were selected from the inner sect for training, and those with poor aptitude were reduced to slaves.Yun Chao's parents died one after another, and his brothers fought over the property, so he was sold to Shangguan's house by his brothers as an "orphan".

A person is born of the blood of the father's sperm and the mother's blood, and even if he is sold by his parents, he dare not complain.Being betrayed by your brother because you were young and ignorant, what kind of reason is this?

If it was her parents who sold Si Si, Yun Chao would probably leave without looking back.

——There are countless children sold by their parents in this world, how can we manage them one by one?

The stubborn and pungent Si Si scolded, fought with and questioned his elder brother, and sold me to the Liu family as a maid when I was five years old. me again?And sell it to that kind of dirty place!

Unfortunately, Yun Chao is too far away.When she rushed over, Sisi had already been smashed in the head with a brick by her elder brother and fell to the ground.

Xie Qinghe listened to Yun Chao's ins and outs, and looked at him: "You have nothing else to tell me?"

Yun Chao turned his head and was embarrassed, and said after a while: "The servant smashed her brother's head, and the body fell into a river outside the city with a stone."

"After killing someone and throwing away the corpse, you followed the possessed fox to this place, wrapped her wounds, put thick clothes on her, and went to the street to buy half a piece of bacon, a cabbage and two catties of rice. Cooking for her happily - you have to pretend to be kidnapped by her after seeing me?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Yun Chao bowed his head and remained silent.

Xie Qinghe picked up the oil-paper umbrella standing at the door, and stretched out his hand to Yun Chao: "Give A Shou to me."

Yun Chao didn't hesitate at his order, he took A Shou out of the bag and handed it to Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe held up the umbrella, and Xiao Xiao went away.

The fox watched him walk away, couldn't help but look at Yun Chao's face, and asked, "He just left like that? Won't he kill me?"

Yun Chao shook his head: "He only kills the wicked."

"Then why is he running here? To eat our meal?" The fox couldn't help but licked the empty rice bowl again, "He ate a bowl, and I didn't have enough. I want to come here on my own The meal..."

The fox suddenly realized that it was not attached to Si Si, and it had no ability to threaten Yun Chao any longer.

"He said, did you take the initiative to cook for me?" the fox asked back.

The fox did scare Yun Chao with the excuse of killing Si Si's body.However, with Yun Chao's vision, how could he not be able to deal with the little fox who was only three months old?No matter how bad it is, he only needs to bring Sisi and the fox back to Xie Qinghe, and it will be easy to get the fox out.

Yun Chao didn't want to do this.

He didn't want to take the fox to see Xie Qinghe.

The only miscalculation was that Xie Qinghe suddenly appeared and found him.

The relationship between Yun Chao and Xie Qinghe was complicated, which made it possible for Yun Chao to find his master no matter where Xie Qinghe went.

However, this perception is one-sided.Yun Chao was able to find Xie Qinghe by virtue of his secret inspiration, but Xie Qinghe didn't know where Yun Chao was. Based on Xie Qinghe's speculation, it was probably a sequela left by the change of fate against the sky.Yun Chao's reconstruction of Wugou's body was based on Xie Qinghe's true essence that had been wiped out by the Nine Turns of Wenlan Seal, and this unilateral connection was established just now.

——Xie Qinghe, who was not supposed to know where Yun Chao was, suddenly appeared outside the courtyard and found Yun Chao accurately.

Yun Chao looked down at the sword ring between his fingers.

The master has tampered here.

■

Xie Qinghe set up a hot pot by the river, boiled a urn of wine, and sat on the embankment watching the sunset.

A Shou was squatting on the hem of his clothes, playing with a wisp of wisdom sword hanging from his front, happily jumping around.

Ever since the incident of Shiqin's ghostly fall into the devil broke out, Yun Chao has been secretly harboring something on his mind.Xie Qinghe also couldn't figure out the cause and effect, Yun Chao could not speak, and he didn't know how to explain it.Based on Xie Qinghe's thinking, he once lived a life in place of Yun Chao, and Yun Chao also participated in the whole life he lived as Yun Chao, so he should know himself well.

However, no matter how intimate the master-servant relationship is, once there is suspicion, estrangement will arise.

Xie Qinghe looked at Ah Shou who was jumping around, tapped her little nose with his finger, and smiled wistfully.

With suspicion and estrangement, many things are hard to explain.

Xie Qinghe seems tolerant and magnanimous, but in fact he is the most impatient to explain, he will turn his face the second time he mentions something, and he will not humbly ask for forgiveness.He has only bowed his head to three people in his life, one is his mentor Shangguan Shiyi, the other is his former lover Shu Hanyun, and the third is his junior brother who is now on top of his heart and can't bear to offend.

Yun Chaoxian was jealous and concealed, and it was even more impossible for Xie Qinghe to coax him back.

If you want to get out, get out, how can there be so much nonsense!

He picked up the soft vegetables in the hot pot, dipped them in the sauce and took a bite.

At this moment, Jian Guang, who was searching for cruising by the river, flew back quickly.

Xie Qinghe turned off the hot pot, poured the hot rice wine into the river, got up and went back to the residence with Ah Shou in his arms.

He held an umbrella when he went out, and carried a lamp when he returned.The little maids in the rich merchants were still very enthusiastic, and they followed them from a distance along the way. Xie Qinghe had excellent ears, and she could even hear clearly the sentences that the little girls secretly talked about, such as how handsome and handsome they were.

Fortunately, there are no rules in the rich merchant's house, and the door between the gate and the courtyard door must be locked at night.

After Xie Qinghe went back, Fu Chuan was already in the room, writing at his desk.

"How long have you been back? Have you eaten?" Xie Qinghe put Ah Shou on the table, and Ah Shou went to grab Fu Chuan's writing pen.

Ever since Ah Shou insisted on going his own way and seriously injured Xie Qinghe, Fu Chuan had [-] points of opinion and dissatisfaction with her.However, Ah Shou has lost his intelligence, and he looks like a little cat with a baby voice and a fluffy body.

Now A Shou Pi Dian Pi Dian came to hold the writing brush in his hand, so he took a clean writing brush from the pen holder and stuffed it to A Shou.

"I didn't come back until it was dark. The county government was still trying the case. I thought that the senior brother might be in a hurry, so I wanted to come back to serve dinner, but I didn't know that the senior brother was not at home. I haven't eaten yet, have you eaten yet?" ?” Fu Chuan was helpless.Ah Shou didn't want a new writing brush at all, but wanted the one that was stained with ink in his hand, and he couldn't help but complained to Ah Shou, "It's stained with fur, do you want to be a little black cat?"

"Eat a few bites casually, it's not serious. What are you writing?" Xie Qinghe lit a lamp.

Fu Chuan didn't bother to care about Ah Shou anymore, so he threw away the pen and paper, and got up first to help Xie Qinghe wipe his face with hot water, and said, "I want to write a letter to the third brother. Feng Shuniang's case went smoothly, but the case is not easy to close, Xing Cheng Ling is not the extremely pedantic person as imagined, but I think it is not good to ask him, a seventh-rank official who has been waiting for decades to fill the vacancy, to be the rafter in his early years."

Xie Qinghe was only concerned with dealing with Yun Chao's affairs today, completely ignorant of Feng Shuniang's case: "What's wrong?"

Fu Chuan recounted the matter and said: "The hall summoned the souls of Feng Shuniang and Sang's family. Diao Erhu went to Feng Shu's family to find his wife and sister-in-law alone, but was stopped by Feng Shuniang. During the conflict, they injured Sang's family. No, it was Feng Shuniang who asked to tear down the door panel and carry Sang to the doctor, but Diao Erhu couldn't bear it, so he beat Feng Shuniang, and Feng Shuniang was knocked unconscious."

"According to Feng Shuniang, she woke up shortly after she fainted, her ankle was sprained and she couldn't walk, and she wanted to crawl home by herself."

"At this time, the uncle who lived next door to her house came out with his son. She thought he was here to save her, but then she wondered why it wasn't her aunt, siblings, but uncles and brothers who came to save her. She called out for help." , wanting to alarm the surrounding neighbors."

"It's a pity that all the relatives of the husband's family live nearby, and no one 'heard' her cries."

"The uncle next door hit her on the head with a stone, killed her alive, and wanted to push her on Diao Erhu."

"I didn't know that Diao Erhu used the door panel to drag Sang out of the house. Before he could find a doctor, Sang died first. Diao Erhu was so angry that he wanted to ask Feng Shuniang to pay for his life. He heard that Feng Shuniang was beaten to death from a distance, so he didn't dare to look closer. The death of Feng Shuniang is said to be really beaten to death by him. In order to clear his murder charge, Diao Erhu went to the Yamen to seek justice. He first accused Feng Shuniang of being a trafficker who abducted his wife and sister-in-law, and confessed that he wanted to recover his wife. He accidentally killed someone."

With the program of invoking spirits and ghosts, there is basically nothing unclear about the case.

Feng Shuniang testified that her husband's next-door uncle and cousin killed her, while Sang pointed out that her husband killed her.

"Right now, Feng Shuniang's husband and family all accuse her of being a trafficker who abducts women and children, and Diao Erhu also accuses her of selling his wife and sister-in-law. Judging from Widow Jin's confession, she is indeed ignorant of the trafficker... The county lord said, this case will be reported to the state government, the county government and then to the Longcheng Criminal Department, and the lawsuit will be filed." Fu Chuan packed the towel and hot water, and turned to pour tea for Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe sat down and put the tea bowl in his hand, and he didn't rush to drink it, and asked, "How about Xingcheng Order?"

"He sentenced Feng Shuniang's uncle, brother, and Diao Erhu to prison. There are still people talking about the unfairness of the sentence, saying that Diao Erhu's wife dared to elope with a big belly, and it is not wrong to kill him. Besides, Diao Erhu didn't kill him on purpose. She was accidentally beaten when she was dragged home, and she was accidentally pregnant and killed two people..." Fu Chuan shook his head.

The court trial is in the courtroom, and the common people can watch it outside.There are not many people who sympathize with Diao Erhu.

In the eyes of most people, Sang's family is not comfortable, and death is not a pity.Feng Shuniang abducted women, and she would not regret her death.

The verdict of the Xingcheng Order has to be reviewed by the state government, the county government, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It does not mean that these prisoners will definitely die if the Xingcheng Order has sentenced them to death.What Feng Shuniang did made her a street rat. No matter what reason others used to kill her, killing a street rat is a very satisfying thing--it will make those who hold power in their hands can't help but to kill her. The murderer finds a reason to reduce his sentence.

Xingcheng Ling's verdict is also a war against "public order and good customs", so Fu Chuan said that he couldn't bear to call him a seventh-rank official.

Xie Qinghe took a look at the letter he wrote, took out a copy of "Tao De" from his portable space, and put it on the letter paper: "There is no need to write the letter. Tomorrow, I will copy the judgment of the Xingcheng Order and follow Give the book to Gu Pingxiang together. Ask him to hand it over to Li Nanfeng."

Everyone knows that Fu Chuan is by Xie Qinghe's side, if he wrote a letter to Li Nanfeng, he must have asked for Xie Qinghe's consent.

Fu Chuan wrote a letter and Xie Qinghe wrote a letter, and the effect is actually the same.However, Xie Qinghe would not easily say a few words to Li Nanfeng.This led to the fact that if Xie Qinghe gave instructions in person, it would mean that the matter was very serious - the real head of the sect took it very seriously.

Fu Chuan wrote to ask for entrustment, that is, please handle it carefully.

Xie Qinghe cared about it personally, meaning that it would be bad luck if it didn't work out.

Fu Chuan put away the "Tao De" and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help taking it out to take a look again, and said, "Elder brother, you copied this for me to practice calligraphy before." This is my book!You touch things from my portable space!

Xie Qinghe just lowered his head and took a sip of tea, coaxing: "I'll make another copy for you when I have time, and write a good one."

Only then did Fu Chuan agree to put the book away, and asked, "What are we going to have for dinner? I'm sorry to bother you so late, why don't we go out for a stroll? I don't know if there is a night market in such a cold weather. There are always restaurants. "He picked up Ah Shou and wiped the ink off his paws, "Why did senior brother bring it back? Is brother Yun Chao still staying at the inn?"

Xie Qinghe didn't answer his question, he got up and was about to go out: "I passed a restaurant that smells delicious, let's try the dishes."

"I still have to take her with me." Fu Chuan wrapped A Shou in a quilt, "I don't know if An An will come to Xingcheng with Senior Sister Fu. Then I will give A Shou to her."

Xie Qinghe shook his head and said: "It's hard to say what kind of heart this thing is. Hu Zhongzhong was entangled with the down-and-out Gao Sheng, and I saw another fox demon today, and it was entangled with a little girl who had an ill-fated life. I Not long after swallowing the demon, the demon clan appeared in the world. Demons make people fall, and ghosts also make people fall. How do you know that demons don’t make people fall? An An has just stepped into the fairyland, and the foundation of the road is not stable. You should stay away from her .”

Fu Chuan asked curiously: "Brother, did you meet the fox demon again today?"

In the past, Xie Qinghe would tell him what he had never experienced together, but today Xie Qinghe just hummed.

Fu Chuan felt strange.However, if Xie Qinghe didn't say anything, he would never ask.

The two walked a few streets next to each other at night, when they arrived at the restaurant pointed out by Xie Qinghe, some waiters went upstairs to take their seats, there were pots and charcoal pans burning everywhere in the room, food and tricksters were everywhere Rouge fragrance, warm as spring.I heard that the helper ordered a few famous Xingcheng dishes, and at the next table there were prostitutes singing for entertainment, so it was so lively.

The yamen's verdict did not spread throughout the city so quickly. In fact, neither Feng Shuniang nor Diao Erhu were famous figures.

The topic of discussion in the restaurant was still An Xiangu, and the various "truth" stories that Gu Pingxiang announced at Xiangu Stone yesterday.

Almost every table of men drinking and eating meat with friends is discussing the big event that caused a sensation in the whole city. Some people are talking about this case and that case, some are talking about the fate of the An family, and some are showing off that they have finally become a great husband with their heads held high: "The tigress in my family is very gentle today. I said I would go out to drink and prostitute, but she asked me if I had enough money to spend! Damn, I have to go back early at night, and ask her to bring me footwashing water! The little maid who can get water...hahaha! Be the bridegroom officer again!"

Fu Chuan buried his head in eating the cold dish brought by the waiter, suddenly spit out a prickly ash, and put down his chopsticks: "It's really unpalatable."

The food is not difficult to eat.

The face of the villain Dezhi is really ugly.

——However, if you can't understand people discussing family affairs with friends, what can you do?

"Unhappy?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan obediently picked up the chopsticks again, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm always not enough, and I get angry all by myself."

"I don't want to be angry alone. What's the use of being angry to death for nothing?" Xie Qinghe slid his fingertips, and a bottle of unlabeled powder was taken out from the portable space.

He motioned to Fu Chuan: "With your skill, it shouldn't be a problem to feed him without hurting others?"

Fu Chuanjue never thought that senior brother would do such a thing.

He still didn't know what was in the medicine bottle, so he opened the cork and smelled it, his face turned green, and he quickly took it away.

Ruined!

Just taking a small sip like this, Xiao Fuchuan couldn't stand up for half a month!

Seeing his face turning blue, Xie Qinghe said with a low smile, "There is an antidote."

Fu Chuan's embarrassing expression had just returned to normal, and he pointed at the person quietly, and confirmed with the senior brother again: "Can you feed me?" Is this a direct drug for a mortal who has no strength to restrain a chicken?With such a bottle, that person will never even think about being the groom's official in his life.

Xie Qinghe said flatly: "I have a son."

Fu Chuan still felt that this matter was very incredible.Senior Brother, such a bright, upright, dignified, dignified person, how could he have the same knowledge as ordinary people?How can you put drugs on mortals?And do it so boldly.

"Go or not?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan picked up the medicine bottle, strolled towards the table where he was talking as if nothing had happened, and came back not long after.

Doing bad things in front of the big brother, no, conspiring with the big brother to do bad things, or doing bad things that don't conform to the Hanjiang Sword Sect's upbringing, wantonly bullying ordinary people, Fu Chuan has an indescribable excitement.It just so happened that the helper brought back the dishes he bought next door, so he asked the helper to serve him happily and ate a meal before strolling home in the dark.

"Eldest brother." Fu Chuan drank two glasses of wine, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he took Xie Qinghe's arm, "I figured it out."

Xie Qinghe held the lamp in one hand, and hugged Ah Shou who was wrapped in the quilt, and asked, "What do you want to understand?"

"That crazy man. He said that he wanted to go back to be the groom's officer. This is because Aunt An was gone, and his wife had to please him, so he dared to pull his wife's maid. That is to say, his wife didn't want to, and his wife My maid is not willing either."

"At the beginning, I thought that by doing this, Eldest Senior Brother prescribes medicine to mortals, and he is bullying mortals."

"I'm thinking wrong."

"
