After I die, my wife becomes a tyrant

Chapter 5 Near Water Tower?

The two of them were brought into the palace as if they had been caught|raped. On the way back to the palace, Hua Muyu sat in a carriage of eight.

Ye Qiufeng and Liang Nanling followed behind the car with their heads down.

Followed by the three hundred generals in a uniform manner, it seems that they are escorting criminals to parade through the streets.

Xing'er rubbed Hua Muyu's arms and shoulders, chattering for her master.

"In the early morning tomorrow, none of the Ye family can escape, the mansion is not worthy of being angry with the surname Ye."

Hua Muyu gave a soft "hmm".

Noticing that the master's gaze was always on the back of her hand, Xing'er fetched a stack of handkerchiefs:

"Di Xia, wipe your hands, even if you have touched dirty hands that are fat and rotten, you dare to defile Di Xia."

Xing'er wiped the back of Hua Muyu's hands over and over again with a handkerchief, and threw the dirty handkerchiefs out of the window one by one.

Jingling Palace, where Huamuyu's palace is located.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw Ye Qiufeng standing behind him, who wanted to protect the little lady, and the little flame in Hua Muyu's heart was burning hotter and hotter.

Xing'er winked, and the two palace attendants immediately understood, one brought a five-foot flat staff, and the other pinched a flexible willow whip soaked in oil so that it was shiny.

Ye Qiufeng bit the bullet: "It's good to have a private chat behind closed doors."

Hua Muyu suppressed her anger for the time being, and stepped into the outer hall of the bedroom. After the two of them entered with their heads down, she closed the door.

Taking a closer look at this little lady, Hua Muyu couldn't figure it out, isn't she prettier than her?What do you like about her?play self pity?will cry?

"What does my husband like about her? If you tell me a hundred times, I will let you go." Hua Muyu gritted her back teeth.

"Really?" Ye Qiufeng raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

"Ah."

"You have no jokes?"

"Ok!"

Ye Qiufeng was dumbfounded, and said a lot:

"Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, all of them are mastered, and they are well written. Han Li is elegant, Tang Kai is majestic, and cursive script is full of momentum!"

"Painting landscapes, pen and ink are strange, and the real world is wonderful..."

When he counted to the ninth circle with his fingers, Ye Qiufeng's brain was almost exhausted. Liang Nanling was praised, terrified, and couldn't help feeling elated.

"Well, it looks good, and it can also dry salt."

The more Hua Muyu listened, the angrier she became, and the more annoyed she was, the more obvious her smile became:

"Little lady, you are alive, go down."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Liang Nanling rubbed the soles of her feet with oil, and ran away without a trace.

Hua Muyu approached Ye Qiufeng step by step, and Ye Qiufeng retreated again and again, straight to the corner, with no way to retreat, so he could only lean against the wall and turn his face away, avoiding Hua Muyu's direct gaze.

Hua Muyu, who was very angry, rushed out to squeeze a willow whip, and when he came back, he closed the door tightly and beat Ye Qiufeng.

"Let you go to Hualou! Let you not return to the palace! Neither will the edict!"

Ye Qiufeng was in pain all over his body, but he didn't say a word, and he was beaten when he came back. Why don't you want to be beaten?

She was beaten until she was out of breath, and then she threw down the willow whip:

"Do you still dare to go to Hualou?"

"Don't dare."

This is a satisfactory answer, but still can't feel sincerity, Hua Muyu became angry again:

"If you dare to go to Hualou again, I will break your legs."

Ye Qiufeng thought to himself, forget about killing me.

Seeing her got angry, Hua Muyu narrowed his eyes and stared at her coldly for a while, then turned and left the side hall angrily.

After confirming that she was leaving, Ye Qiufeng quickly left Jingling Palace on tiptoe.

In the spring pavilion, Hua Muyu watched her back silently, and disappeared from sight as if fleeing.

……

"Da Ling? Are you still alive?"

In the garden outside Jingling Palace, there was a cry of surprise, Liang Nanling sneaked out of the flowers, and together with Ye Qiufeng, hurriedly left the palace with her head down.

"If you're afraid, I'll get someone else to investigate Chunmanlou secretly, and you can reply." Ye Qiufeng whispered.

"No, as a detailed judge at the beginning, there is no reason to give up halfway," Liang Nanling is quite enthusiastic about investigating cases, and at the same time, even more enthusiastic about gossip:

"Da Ling, you are the county magistrate, the director of Dali Temple, and the young master, but you also hold other official positions?"

Juzhang County, a small place, Liang Nanling originally thought that Ye Qiufeng was just a low-key county magistrate who was virtuous and good at governance.

If it hadn't been for the case of extermination in the East Mansion this time, and she was appointed to assist in the investigation, she would have no way of knowing that Ye Qiufeng was actually the director of the Dali Temple, and was in charge of the envoy to resolve the case.

There are only six Sizhi in Dali Temple. When a serious case occurs in the local area, the Sizhi must be ordered to go to the local area to help solve the important case.

This time, she came to the West Mansion to conduct a secret investigation, only to find out that she was actually the husband of Hua Muyu, Xiaoyehou and the Suzerain of the Supervisory Kingdom.

"There is also a recruiter."

"Hiss..." Liang Nanling choked for breath.

Recruiting envoys, fighting against the outside world to secure the inside, recruiting surrenders and fighting against rebels, urgent matters in the army are too late to report, so they can act cheaply. That is to say, Ye Qiufeng still has military power and can call the entire army.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you!" Liang Nanling's eyes turned into stars.

"Keep it secret, it's not a secret," Ye Qiufeng smiled faintly:

"Just do your job well, and people don't care so much about rumors in the palace."

……

In order to pick up Ye Qiufeng, Hua Muyu wasted two hours, and when she returned to the inner hall, there were a lot of things waiting for her to deal with on the Zhu table, and her father was sleeping.

In recent years, my father has often been depressed, always sleepy and drowsy. He took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. The only energy he had was spent on listening to the government in the early morning and taking a look at the affairs she handled.

At the age of 16, she started supervising the country and assisting the government. During the five years of supervising the country, she was really exhausted. The Yue country is so small that the affairs of the 72 counties in the [-] prefectures in the country have to be submitted to the West Mansion by the county magistrate on a regular basis. It is also necessary to send imperial inspectors to conduct inspections of county magistrates and governors from time to time, so as to prevent local officials from being unsupervised for a long time and misbehaving against the people.

There are also often people who directly hand over ultimatums to the imperial inspectors, but whenever major incidents are involved, inspectors from the six ministries and nine temples are sent to deal with them, so as to reassure the people.

In addition to internal affairs, there are also national defense, foreign affairs and other affairs. There are three big countries in the surrounding area.

The total population of Yue State is only 200 million households and more than 700 million people, but it has to support 20 troops. As a vassal state, it has to pay tribute to the Central Plains Shang Kingdom every year to seek asylum, which is a huge burden.

Both myself and Ye Qiufeng are not living for themselves, but for the entire Yue country.

"Hmph, the mansion is so busy, and you even went to pick up the wind and wash the dust in person, Xiao Yehou really doesn't know what to do." Xing'er felt wronged for the master, mainly because she felt sorry for the master.

"Xing'er, did the young master pay respects to Chenggong Palace?"

"The guard said Xiao Yehou has left the palace, why don't you send someone to follow him? So that he doesn't go to the Flower House again."

"Forget it, let her go."

Hua Muyu calmed down and started to deal with the matter.

There's an advantage to dealing with things—

She could learn from the report what Ye Qiufeng was doing.

At the beginning of the year, she was ordered to lead [-] brave troops to Chuzhou in the name of recruiting envoys to deal with the riots caused by Jianzhou in Fujian and to prevent surprise attacks. As a result, she directly opened the city gates and let Jianzhou refugees enter the city, causing Crimes such as theft, robbery, and wounding frequently occurred in Chuzhou. The governor of Chuzhou handed over an ultimatum, accusing her of exceeding her authority and causing chaos, and Wangxifu ordered her to restrain herself.

In mid-March, Juzhang County Affairs issued a statement stating that a shipbuilding supervisor would be set up in Ninghai Bay to open up communications with Han and Silla by sea, so as to break the siege of Yue State by the three kingdoms, and the West Mansion could be ferryed eastward at the entrance of Ninghai Bay. , The ferry between the West Mansion and the East Mansion can greatly shorten the distance. The one-way journey by land takes three quarters, and the ferry only takes two quarters.

Five days ago, a murder case occurred in Dongfu. Ye Qiufeng was ordered to investigate the case in the name of Si Zhi of Dali Temple.

"She is also very busy, so busy that she still has time to go to Hualou."

Hua Muyu was very worried about this matter, and went to Hualou when she had time, but she didn't want to come to see me either.

……

There are three subjects to be tested in the regular examination, laws and regulations, current policies, and self-examination. The self-examination should be roughly consistent with what the inspectors saw when they inspected the place.

Anyway, being a county magistrate is very busy, ideological education, peace of the people, economy, agriculture, visits to the poor, hearing lawsuits and grievances, maintaining order, administration, civil affairs, justice and public security, economics and finance, registration and social management, education and enlightenment, etc. Nothing.

On the way to the official department to take the exam, I don't know if the story of her visit to the flower building spread, and she received ten percent of the attention gifts.

Some of the other 70 county magistrates talked and laughed with her, some pointed at her, glanced at her from time to time, and then whispered to the people around them with a smile.

Well, shame on the country.

Staying in the West Mansion, she just felt out of breath. After staying for a long time, she was afraid that she would go crazy sooner or later.

Hua Muyu was dealing with the affairs, and when Shenzheng (17:[-]) was over, he hurried to the official department.

The county magistrates who were taking the exam were leaving one after another, and she saw Ye Qiufeng also walking out slowly instead of going to Jingcheng Palace.

There is an illusion that if he calls her, she will run towards him, jumping for joy, smiling brightly, and hugging him like she was when she was a child.

This is an illusion. The truth is that if she calls her out, she will only stop respectfully. How long she will stop depends on how many topics she can keep her in. Every topic, she only needs one sentence, or even one word, to end it.

And I am not a talkative person.

I had no choice but to suppress the depression in my heart, and turned to walk to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, where the examiner was sorting out and marking the examination papers.

She turned out Ye Qiufeng's exam paper and tore it into pieces without looking at it. The examiner stared at it.

"Let her wait, and don't allow her to reply." Hua Muyu said in a commanding tone.

What the hell, I come to tear up the test papers every year, and run away for her every year.

The examiner smiled respectfully and said:

"Di Xia, this year is the fourth year for Marquis Xiaoye to take the regular exam. If he gets the lower grade, he will be relegated to Lunlu. If he is relegated, he may be relegated to a farther place."

"If you get the top rank for four consecutive years, you can be promoted, and you may not be sure if you are transferred back to the West Mansion, hehe."

"Why didn't you say it sooner?" Hua Muyu suppressed the trace of joy:

"Spell the exam papers together."

After saying a few simple words, she walked away.

……

On the way back to Juzhang in the carriage, Ye Qiufeng took a hasty look at his exam results: average.

The official examiner used to be a well-dressed general under my father's command. In addition to the test results, he also attached a letter to inform her that her test paper was torn up again by Hua Muyu.

In the past three years, her regular examination results have always been top-notch. If she also has to be top-notch this time, she will accept a promotion. year, and others will be discussed next year.

"Da Ling, do you want to drop by the Taoist monastery?" Liang Nanling asked Ye Qiufeng beside him while driving the carriage.

"Well, let's go."

Ye Qiufeng knew that she needed Du Die to avoid marriage, and she didn't know that Du Die could avoid marriage until after they got married.

After the embarrassing bridal night, she, the married woman, had to live in another house. The suzerain did not summon her, and she was not allowed to sleep together. Hua Muyu had never summoned her.

And only a few days after getting married, Ye Qiufeng accidentally found out that Hua Muyu had gone to the Confucian Taoist monastery, and she stayed in the Taoist monastery for three days.

Some said that Hua Muyu was dissatisfied with the marriage, so she went to the Taoist temple to seek a way to avoid marriage after reconciliation, but she had been married for five years, and she never mentioned the word "reconciliation".

Some people say that Ye's family controls half of the military power in the country, not only to use Ye's to stabilize the country, but also to prevent Ye's relatives from interfering in politics.

Ye Qiufeng pondered, what the latter said was quite reasonable, so she decided to stay away from the West Mansion and become a county magistrate to avoid domestic violence and fear. After the incident, it got even worse.

It feels like Hua Muyu deliberately made a big fuss. After all, she has already supervised the country, so of course she must guard against taking the opportunity to interfere in politics.

As for tearing up her exam papers, this can also be classified as a type of domestic violence. Anyway, she just doesn't want to make it easier for herself, and the purpose of domestic violence is also to prevent herself from taking the opportunity to interfere in politics.

According to the law, if the husband does not return for three years, the wife can unilaterally reconcile and divorce according to the law, and all property belongs to the woman.

A few years ago, she thought about using this law to make peace with Hua Muyu, but after thinking about it carefully, even if she didn't mention that she had a crush on her, she only talked about her childhood friendship.

I am also willing to let her take advantage of it, so that she will not be reduced to a proton when there is turmoil.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Ye Qiufeng repeatedly looked at the list recorded by Liang Nan Lingzai. There were 23 people in the list, thirteen of them were the sons of ministers of the court.

"Da Ling, if it is really a minister of the DPRK and China, it will be difficult to deal with it."

Liang Nanling felt that this case was a hot potato. It was scary to think about the fact that there were ministers in the court secretly informing about the mysterious killer.

"I'm wondering what the motive for the murder is. The killer didn't even clean up the scene, but he hid the motive of the murder thoroughly. He couldn't find out the motive. Even if he locked the suspect, he couldn't break through." The two talked to themselves.

"It's so difficult, Da Ling. Were all the cases you took on before so difficult?" Liang Nanling scratched her head, and she actually scratched out more than a dozen strands of hair that fell out.

"Ordinary people, offending the powerful, money? The excuse? When the person dies, the excuse disappears." Ye Qiufeng continued to reason.

"Da Ling, I've lost a lot of hair."

"Should I take you to a Buddhist temple? Go to a Buddhist temple to become a monk and shave your head bald, so you won't be afraid of losing your hair."

"I don't," Liang Nanling retorted, and simply put his chin on his back and began to reason:

"It should be the handle, the handle that threatens the status of the powerful, or it may be this handle. The Zhou family has been pinching it for a long time to extort money or something, which caused the murderer to bear it, so he bought the murderer to kill the door? If so, it means that the Zhou family Do you all know this trick?"

"Probably not. I speculate that only one of them knows the truth. The purpose of killing the family is to cut off the clues so as not to reveal their identity. That is to say, the Zhou family knows the murderer." Ye Qiufeng paused:

"After you return to Yuezhou, you can inquire about the source of the Zhou family's money and confirm this, so that you can determine whether it is a new one or an old one."

"Okay, I understand, but there are only five prisons, six ministries, and nine temples in our Yue Kingdom, and the suzerain and the king are so clear-eyed. If everything is based on the law, what kind of moth can you do under the eyes of the king?"

"Tch." Ye Qiufeng rolled his eyes, Hua Muyu didn't talk to me about the law.

After roughly clearing up the direction of the investigation, Ye Qiufeng confirmed that she must stay in the West Mansion for a period of time to conduct a secret investigation in the court.

Juzhang County had four young magistrates, two magistrates, and two magistrates. When they arrived near the National Church, she told Liang Nanling to act as the county magistrate for a while, and then handed over the carriage. Give it to her, after hiding the list on her body, walk back to the West Mansion alone.

But she is the director, staying in the West Mansion will definitely make the people involved in the case vigilant.

So...she had to provoke Hua Muyu and create the illusion that she was forcibly detained by Hua Muyu.

……

Ye Qiufeng left early in the morning and didn't intend to say hello to Hua Muyu. Hua Muyu had expected this, so he got up early in the morning, sat in the carriage, and waited outside the palace for a while.

Sure enough, seeing Ye Qiufeng talking and laughing with the little lady in the same carriage and leaving the West Mansion together, her lungs would explode.

Following far behind on the post road, and actually followed to the Taoist temple, Hua Muyu cursed——

Do you want to reconcile with me on the basis of the ultimatum?Or do you want to take a pair of certificates and stay and fly with that little lady?

"Under the mansion, Xiao Yehou is walking over, seems to be going back to the West Mansion." Xing'er looked out the window.

Hua Muyu was caught off guard, she didn't want Ye Qiufeng to know that he was following her.

"Let's go, go back to the palace."

Ye Qiufeng walked with her head down, pondering reasoning as she walked, and when she raised her head inadvertently, she saw a carriage ahead, which was in the direction of the West Mansion. She was overjoyed and hurried over, not realizing that the faster she was running, the carriage Also go faster.

"Hey! Excuse me!" Ye Qiufeng rushed to the front of the carriage like a gust of wind, panting and smiling politely to the groom:

"Do you dare to ask, is it going to Xifu? Can you give me a ride? I can pay for it. It is more than 100 miles from Lin'an County to Xifu. It takes a long time to walk. I can just sit outside."

The groom faltered and turned his head away to avoid it, which made Ye Qiufeng feel a little strange.

Hua Muyu hastily put away her panic, and opened the curtain generously. Ye Qiufeng saw that it was her, and couldn't help being stunned.

Not far away is the Taoist temple, and she came to the Taoist temple again.

"It's such a coincidence that Dixia also came to the Taoist temple? Is it from Zao Ke Yin Jing?" Or, to ask about Du Yi?

Hua Muyu narrowed his cold eyes and ignored her.

Ye Qiufeng decided to put away his politeness, turned on the provocative mode, stepped into the carriage, and sat down next to Hua Muyu.

"Hey, Xiaoyehou, you..." Xing'er was almost pushed to the back of the carriage by her.

"Go down for me, you still know I'm Xiaoyehou."

Ye Qiufeng was not polite at all, and pushed her out:

"Groom, let's go."

Xing'er stomped her feet angrily.

Hua Muyu squinted her cold eyes and stared at her:

"I let you come up?"

Ye Qiufeng smiled warmly, and looked directly at her:

"You and I are husband and wife, isn't it normal to ride in the same carriage?"

While talking, Ye Qiufeng deliberately pressed his thigh against her thigh, teasing her.

"The skin is getting thicker and thicker, don't touch me, get out."

Ye Qiufeng was hurt in his heart, but he forced himself to smile and was shameless, and didn't know what to say. He could only raise his hand and put his arms around her shoulders. He was very nervous, shy, and frightened. hot.

Hua Muyu was stunned, turned her head and glanced at her hands, her heart was pounding, her face turned red after a while, and she turned her head slightly to avoid her face.

Unexpectedly, she didn't attack me, Ye Qiufeng groaned nervously, and he couldn't help touching her shoulder quietly with his fingers, the itchy feeling made Hua Muyu's back sweat ooze nervously.

"You liked to hug me like this when you were a child." Hua Muyu summoned up her courage and said so.

"Ah?" Hearing the past from her mouth suddenly, Ye Qiufeng was a little caught off guard and unresponsive:

"It seems... right."

The carriage was moving forward slowly, she gently withdrew her hands, put her cramped hands on her knees, clenched them from time to time, her palms sweated inexplicably.

In the silence, Xing'er was used to not taking Ye Qiufeng seriously, so she couldn't help but open her mouth to criticize for the master:

"Xiao Yehou really redeemed that little lady. The dignified son-in-law is blatantly promiscuous, so he is kind-hearted, and he is not willing to teach you a lesson. After the early court, the lord will not let you go!"

"Stop talking nonsense, shut up!" Ye Qiufeng scolded.

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Hua Muyu became depressed again, and she forgot about it just now:

"Husband, how can you be willing to leave her alone in the monastery, why don't you go together."

Ye Qiufeng was annoyed to death by this matter, and that Xing'er outside was still chirping to the master:

"After doing the work, you are still confident. Di Xia is really a flower stuck in cow dung."

Ye Qiufeng wanted to scratch his hair angrily, and raised his eyes, but Hua Muyu was looking at her with cold, piercing eyes again.

"Forget it, I won't stay here to confuse you, so leave."

After that, she got up to get off the carriage, Hua Muyu stretched out her hand and hooked her jade belt around her waist:

"Why, did you do something wrong, so you want to run away?"

"Heh, no one in this world is more innocent than me." Ye Qiufeng said in a low voice, twitching the corners of his mouth.

Hua Muyu sneered, hooked her jade belt, and asked her to sit back again:

"Explain, what do you mean by innocence?"

Ye Qiufeng took a deep breath, leaned into her ear, and whispered solemnly:

"She's Juzhang County's minor magistrate, and she's really here for business."

"Well," Hua Muyu nodded noncommittally:

"In this way, it is more convenient to be near the water tower."
