Tong Jia anecdote

<four three>

Coming back from the temple, Tong Jiu was even more awkward, walking all the way back and saying to Hua Jing, "I have felt since I was a child that the Fengshui of this capital city is not suitable for me. Look, where are you walking all over the world?" It's all good. But I just came to Beijing, so I feel bad about it."

"It's getting late, let's go back home." Hua Jingfu looked at the sky and thought, I'm afraid your worst time is still behind.

After she returned home, Ji Lan's dinner had already been eaten.When she entered, Ji Lan was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

"Where did you go to play?" Hong Xiao took a look at the coat that was still clean when she went out, and looked at the new pair of deerskin boots on her feet, she couldn't see her true colors anymore.Looking at Hua Jingfu who went with her, but his clothes were not stained with dust, he said angrily, "How could you mess with this whole body of mud?"

"Okay, just follow me to take a shower and change clothes." Tong Jiu cast a glance at Ji Lan who ignored him when she came back, and reprimanded Hong Xiao in a low voice, before going to the side room by herself.

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing their master and servant leaving the door, Ji Lan called Hua Jingfu who was about to leave.

Hua Jingfu said solemnly, "She, worshiping the Buddha went to the wrong temple gate, and she was planted in a mud pit." After finishing speaking, she went out without concern for herself.

That night, Ji Lan and Tong Jiu did not sleep together.

On the second day, for breakfast, Tong Jiu got up late and didn't see Ji Lan.

Until noon, Fuca Tuya came over to the mansion.Only then did Tong Jiu find out that early this morning, Ji Lan was invited by the official of the clan's mansion to question him.

"I heard that the presiding judge this time is Prince Jian, and the other is Chen Jingyi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." At this time, Tuya couldn't care less about her identity, and paced back and forth anxiously in the hall.

He said worriedly, "Chen Jingyi had some old friends with our family in the past, but with Prince Jian here, he has no way of taking charge of this case."

Tong Jiu rarely sat there steadily, thoughtful.

Tuya said, "If other princes of the same generation, Baylor, for the sake of the Fucha family and to protect Jilan, I would ask for it regardless of face. But Prince Xie is the emperor's uncle, and he has little contact with our family on weekdays. Speak up. I’m just asking for trouble if I go, I’m afraid it will be self-defeating and hurt Jilan.”

Seeing that Tong Jiu didn't say a word, Tuya said, "Didn't you still swear by it yesterday, why did you become dumb today? With you like this, how can I trust my sister to entrust the Fucha family to you?"

After finishing speaking, Tuya pointed to the front yard and said, "Yangzhengtang's century-old honor of exclusively supplying imperial medicine is the result of the painstaking efforts of several generations of Fucha's family. If you think of Jilan, she really wants Yangzhengtang to be ruined in her life." In her hand? If she really didn't care that much, she wouldn't go to any clan mansion."

Tong Jiu stood up and said flatly, "Isn't it the clan mansion? I'll go, that's it."

"Brother, you are crazy!" Hong Xiao on the side grabbed Tong Jiu, stopped her from shaking twice, and said sadly, "Can you go to a place like the Clan Mansion, Ang?"

Tong Jiu thought for a while, pressed the beard on his face, pushed Hong Xiao, and said, "I'm just going to have a look, don't worry."

"Brother——." Hong Xiao hindered Tuya and others from being present, so she couldn't say clearly, she just said, "If you go, in case something goes wrong, the Fucha family doesn't have it, it's not just for imperial medicine Qualified!"

"Let me go." Tong Jiu patted Hong Xiao on the shoulder resolutely, and said, "You know you can't stop me."

It was also the first time in Tong Jiu's life that he came to the clan mansion.

When you go in, you will know that most of the officials who come here are relatives of the emperor.Ji Lan's case was nothing more than her former husband's family accusing her of disobedience to women, and it was not considered a serious criminal case, so it was not like ordinary yamen trials, with cruel officials and severe torture.

Moreover, it was not the hall of the clan's mansion that was promoted, but the second hall of the Internal Affairs Department for interrogation.

The morning before Tong Jiu came, he basically concluded that Guerjia's accusation was true.Ji Lan's disorderly behavior is not a crime, but once the case is closed, Yangzhengtang and Fucha's family will follow Ji Lan's reputation and be despised by the world, and they will never have anything to do with imperial medicine again.

In the afternoon, just wait for the signature and deposit, and then the case can be closed and reported to the imperial court.

"Who is in the hall? Why didn't you kneel when you met the king in the courtroom?" Tong Jiu was brought up, worried that she would be recognized, so she didn't dare to raise her head, and stood still in the hall.

At first, I woke up after hearing a "pop", and then I felt that apart from the familiar tone of the speaker, no matter how I heard it, there was a hint of ridicule and gloating in it.

So, Tong Jiu stole a glance at the hall.Oops, I exclaimed in my heart, I still had the arrogant look yesterday, isn't this Namu's father!Looking at the patch on his chest, his heart became clear.Yep, he is the emperor's uncle in Tuya's mouth, Prince Yunmi.

"Bold, how dare you ignore the prince's question." After hearing this voice, Tong Jiu remembered that the person next to him should be Chen Jingyi.Seeing the sternness hidden in his eyes, Tong Jiu believed more and more that what she said to Hua Jingfu yesterday was true.

What is my fate?A case is nothing more than two people, the chief and deputy judges, but they are both so close to each other.

"Caomin, Han Luqi, I have met the two adults." Tong Jiu made a bow, and said to Chen Jingyi, "Caomin is not talented, and he has a reputation for exploring flowers. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, can we avoid kneeling in the lower hall?"

Prince Jian cleared his throat to show his majesty, and asked, "Then Han Tanhua came to this court, but what does it have to do with the case of the Guerjia Mansion suing the Fucha family for violating women?"

"My lord, the Caomin came here to avenge the Fucha family." Tong Jiu had already made up his mind before coming, so he bowed and said, "That day, it wasn't that the Fucha family did not obey women's morals, but that the Caomin lost their morals after drinking. , got involved with the Fucha family."

Seeing Tong Jiu's unhurried utterance, everyone present had different expressions.The presiding judge, Prince Jian, supported his head with one hand, tapped the case surface with the other hand, his eyes fell on Ji Lan who was kneeling beside him, and he couldn't tell what was in his mind.

But Chen Jingyi, who was beside him, sat there with forbearance, with a look of "hate for taking his wife", wishing to get rid of Tong Jiu in the hall.

Ji Lan, who was kneeling behind Tong Jiu, looked at Tong Jiu's back, thinking about the possible outcome of the case after she said so.

Tong Jiu bowed and continued to report, "Afterwards, the Fucha family wanted to die as a martyr, but they remembered that Yangzhengtang had the mission of enshrining imperial medicine, and they didn't dare to bear the greatness of the emperor's grace, so they endured the humiliation and married the grass-roots people."

"My lord, my lord, don't listen to this person's nonsense to justify the Fucha family. They are obviously a pair of adulterers who have sex with each other without a matchmaker. How dare they mention the holy grace?" Standing on the other side, Guarja Bomu Er questioned Tong Jiu.

Then he covered his face and pretended to cry bitterly, "This criminal will not be punished, how can I comfort my elder brother who sacrificed his life for the country? Your lords and lords, you must make decisions for the lower officials!"

Prince Jian stroked his chin, and said to Chen Jingyi, "Master Chen, in your opinion, how should this case be decided in a fair way?"

Chen Jingyi responded, "The lower officials think that the wrongdoer has the head and the debtor, and the Guerjia family sued the Fucha family for not abiding by women's morals. In the final analysis, it is because Han Luqi lost his morals after drinking and forcibly got involved with the Fucha family. Therefore, the lower officials feel that Han Luqi should be punished for the crime of rape and reported to the imperial court to take his fame."

"My lord—." Ji Lan was about to speak, when Prince Jian immediately took the case and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Fucha. Since it is true that you were touched by Han Luqi, then Mrs. Guarjia's accusation that you have lost your morals Naturally, it cannot be established. This king will definitely make a judgment with justice and return your innocence."

Bomuer refused to accept it, and wanted to argue, Prince Jian patted Xingtangmu again, faced Tong Jiu, and said, "Han Luqi, do you know that according to my "Laws of the Qing Dynasty", rapists are strangled to death?" Wait. For those who have attempted rape, they will be punished with a hundred sticks and exile for three thousand miles?"

"My lord—!" Ji Lan was shocked, and Prince Jian interrupted her, "As the presiding judge of this case, this king proposes to temporarily put Han Luqi in chains and put him in prison until tomorrow for another trial. Mrs. Fucha, acquitted , back out!"

Seeing Tong Jiu being shackled and dragged down by the officials, Ji Lan stood up and watched for a moment, this sudden big change made her thoughts confused.

Subconsciously, he took off the jade bracelet from his hand, and secretly stuffed it into the hand of the official who sent her out. The official understood it and said vaguely, "Don't worry, madam."

At the gate of the yamen, Tuya and the others had been waiting for her in the carriage for a long time.As soon as she came out, Tuya grabbed her and pulled her into the car, looked up and down several times, and asked, "How is it? Did they do anything to you?"

Hearing the commotion at the entrance of the yamen, it should be that the prince of Prince Jian has left the yamen, Ji Lan anxiously lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and said in puzzlement, "How could Han Luqi offend Prince Jian? "

In the hall, Prince Jian interrupted himself twice in a row, just because he didn't want him to defend her, and was eager to confirm Tong Jiu's crime, but why?If he was with the Guarjia family, he wouldn't let him go so easily.

At this time, I heard Hongxiao's crying from the car behind.Hua Jing Fu said, "Let Madam find Namu Gege in Prince Xie's mansion, maybe there is still salvation."

On the way back to the mansion, Hua Jingfu told Ji Lan carefully about going to the temple with Tong Jiu yesterday.Immediately, Ji Lan changed into her clothes, and accompanied by Tuya, went to Prince Xie's Mansion.

In the evening, at the mansion of Prince Xie.

Prince Jian just returned to the mansion, and saw Namugege waiting for him in the main room.Although Namugege is his second daughter, but because the eldest daughter died when she was three years old, she dotes on this second daughter very much.

"Ama, Mr. Han, he just helped his daughter yesterday." Na Mu watched his father drink the tea he had made, and muttered in a low and pitiful voice.

"Huh?" Prince Jian put the teacup on the desk, and said with a straight face, "He deserves what he deserves for messing with women."

"Ama, Mrs. Han came to look for her daughter before dinner. Mr. Han did drink too much at that time, so he just hugged her. After waking up, he is willing to marry her." He rubbed her for his father. Shoulder said, "Ama is so wise, you must know that Mr. Han is not the kind of low-level person."

Prince Shen sighed, leaned on the back of the chair and let his daughter rub his shoulders, and said, "I know exactly who he is. You still pleaded for him. If he hadn't refuted your marriage back then, you would have been given Married to the Horqin Grassland!"

Na Mu was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Tanhua who refuted her marriage a few years ago and told her sick to go home was this Han Luqi?

"Look at his appearance yesterday, does he seem to be terminally ill? Why, marrying a widow who is seven years older than him cured his illness!" He Shuo Gege is not as good as that widow?"

Namu cheered for his father and filled the tea ceremony, "As for him, he is not blessed at first glance. He is not a good match for his daughter. However, for the sake of helping his daughter yesterday, Ama shut him down." In the evening, it’s fine to bluff, lest others say that you can’t marry your daughter and avenge yourself.”

"Who dares to say that, huh?" Prince Jian snorted coldly, "It's fine if you don't know how to flatter, but you know who this king is in the court, and you dare to pretend to be crazy with this king."

"Well, I just don't know how to flatter." Namu also echoed, "But aren't those literati all like that. You, if you really don't feel relieved, you can beat him up tomorrow and coax him to go home, forget it. Cheng Is it?"

Seeing his father's silence, Namu was a little impatient, and begged, "Ama, just let him go this time." He kept talking and shaking until Prince Jian became dizzy, and finally nodded his head reluctantly, finally agreeing.
