Pastoral affairs

Cui Wei reluctantly endured the suspicion in her heart, and she didn't want to say something out of nothing to make the husband and wife divorced. She planned to wait until after asking about Bi Liu's situation, so as not to open her mouth to say that if Nie Qiuran didn't do anything, she It slandered him.

"Look at the arrangement, but I feel a little tired today, why don't we go another day, after He Yuannian's lawsuit is settled, if we have more time, why don't we go back to the village again, we haven't been back for a long time, I also miss it a little, I don’t know if my third brother is in a better mood now.” She changed the subject, and it didn’t seem like she was feeling suspicious and uncomfortable before, but she really thought of Cui Jingping, especially Qin Shuyu today Asking about him when she came over made Cui Wei even more worried. She didn't notice that when she mentioned Cui Jingping, Nie Qiuran had a slightly weird and embarrassed expression.

"That's up to you. I guess the emperor will release me by then. It's not bad to find a county magistrate. I'll be happy every day." Nie Qiuran laughed and stretched out his hand to help Cui Wei straightened her hair, eyes full of love.

Look at him like this, it doesn't seem like he doesn't like himself anymore, he wants to accept new people.Cui Wei was even more puzzled, she pursed her lips and smiled, then changed the topic and talked about other things.The two couples talked for a while, taking advantage of the time to discuss the menu with Bi Liu at noon, Cui Wei hurriedly avoided Nie Qiuran, pulled Bi Liu and asked in a low voice: "What kind of guest did you meet this morning? Something is wrong!"

"Go back to Madam." As soon as Bi Liu heard her asking about this matter, she hurriedly replied: "In the morning, I heard that there was a visitor from the concierge asking to see the uncle. He looked delicate and was supported by two maids." When I met the uncle, although he was wearing men's clothing, but according to the lady Wang who led the way, the man's body was not like a man, but a woman, and his body smelled like a fragrance, and he spoke and acted delicately..." Bi Liu said Arriving here, a look of disdain appeared on her face: "The slave girl thinks that Mrs. Wang can't miss it. But if she is really a woman, it can be seen that she is not a good thing. Since ancient times, men and women have different clothes, but she is good. She even wears men's clothes. It's neither male nor female. What is it! Ma'am, don't worry, it's just a plaything, and the uncle is at most fresh for a while..."

"Okay, I got it!" Although Cui Wei guessed that something was wrong, she really heard Bi Liu say that she met a woman in the morning, and Nie Qiuran also met a woman.She was somewhat unhappy in her heart, which made her most dissatisfied.It was Nie Qiuran who met the woman, but he didn't tell her just now.Cui Wei was a little angry at the moment, but she managed to hold it back. She didn't want to quarrel with Nie Qiuran before things got out of hand. If this was just a random arrangement by the servants, then she didn't trust Nie Qiuran. Autumn dyed.

Think here.Cui Wei reluctantly ordered Bi Liu: "You swallow this matter, and I will ask the gentleman. The people below should not chew their tongues, or let me hear it, and then I don't care what face I have." It was the first time for Bi Liu to see her stern face, she was startled, and quickly twisted the hem of her skirt and knelt down: "Of course the servant knows, madam is at ease. If the madam hadn't asked, the slave would not have wanted to talk nonsense." ..."

"You did a good job." Cui Wei thought that she really didn't say anything. Although her expression was a bit strange, she actually understood in her heart when she thought about it. Nie Qiuran has never taken a concubine, nor has she slept with any girl as a roommate. Now, once he met a woman, it would be difficult for the people below to say that he wasn't curious. If it wasn't for him, maybe she would be curious too.Cui Wei felt as if a cat was scratching in her heart, but she held back, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Look first, let the people below check if they can find out what the details are, and ask the concierge. Take care, if this person comes over next time, please give me an order in advance."

Bi Liu naturally agreed.She belongs to Cui Wei, and Nie Qiuran has no intention of accepting her as a roommate. In the future, she will marry the steward of the outer courtyard or be released. After she gets married, she will return to Cui Wei's side. Waiter, if there is no accident, I am afraid that I will be with Cui Wei for the rest of my life. Naturally, I don't want her to fall out of favor or power, but I also hope that she will be well. After all, she is also a slave to the master, so Cui Wei said, Bi Liu will naturally try her best to do things.

Although Cui Wei and Nie Qiuran have been married for several years, and the two grew up as childhood sweethearts. Nie Qiuran also said that the two stayed together for a lifetime, and Cui Wei grew up with him since childhood Yes, I still understand Nie Qiuran's character to some extent, and he really doesn't seem like a person who is rebellious. Although I don't know why I met a woman today but didn't tell him, but Cui Wei really doesn't want to think too much about her husband, so After asking Bi Liu about this matter, she also heard that the woman went back after only staying for more than half an hour, so she took this matter to heart and decided that if the woman appeared again, she would ask Nie Qiu Ran, if she doesn't show up, she will observe for a while before making a decision.

He Yuannian's body has been found, and now the case has been filed. The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and everyone in Beijing knows about the appointment of Lu Jin as the supervisory envoy.The opening day is scheduled for mid-October. Although Zhu's case is that Nie Qiuran and his son murdered someone, it is reasonable to say that this matter has nothing to do with Cui Wei, but Cui Wei is worried. Nie Qiuran, therefore, still came with him. Secondly, Mr. Nie is very ill now. The imperial physicians in the palace have come to see him, saying that Mr. Nie was overly frightened, and he will have to rest for a few more days before he can go to court. He claims to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, and loves feathers very much. Master Nie is also a man of fame. In order to show kindness, he asked Master Nie to rest at home this trip, and Nie Qiuran came alone.

Nie Qiuran's identity is different. On the day of the opening of the court, Lu Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Siqing sat on high positions in the courtroom of Nuo Da. , and the monitoring eunuchs sent by the emperor in the palace, as well as some powerful officials sat aside.When all the officials shouted in unison, the Zhu couple had already knelt down in the hall, crying loudly: "Master Qingtian, you are wronged! My son died so wrongly. The old lady refuses to accept, please beg the Lord!" Make up your mind!" It is indeed a very sympathetic thing for a person to lose a child in middle age, and Zhu's family only had one son. Now that He Yuannian is gone, Zhu's family will die in the future , no one even took a memorial tablet, so she cried very real.

Everyone couldn't help sympathizing with them, so they sent people to stare, and drank Zhu's silence in unison, and Zhu's crying gradually subsided, and while wiping away tears, he said: "The first year of my son, it was originally Jiande 21 Born in [-], now less than [-] years old, he married the Nie family in Xiaowan village. After Nie's family passed away, he was lazy and flirted with others. My son was depressed, but he was afraid of the wealth of the Nie family, so he had to swallow his anger , the old woman feels uncomfortable, but she only wants her children and grandchildren to have their own blessings, so it is inconvenient to pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, in May this year, the old woman's daughter-in-law said that her elder brother called her and insisted on coming to Beijing. My son couldn't bear the separation of husband and wife, so we went together .First imprisoned by the poisonous Nie family, and then murdered and silenced by his Nie family, I beg the elder to make the decision!"

Mrs. Zhu cried sadly, and Lu Jin was the most filial. Seeing Mrs. Zhu's appearance at this time, she couldn't help sighing: "I'm old and have lost my son and have no one to rely on. It's really pitiful, pitiful, pitiful!"

Everyone in the hall knew what kind of virtue Lu Jin was. Hearing what he said, everyone sympathized with the He family, but no one paid any attention to Lu Jin. Your son, what evidence do you have?" Zhu wept bitterly, and then kowtowed again: "My son came to the capital for the first time, and he has no grudges or enmities with anyone, so who hates him so much, who needs to kill him so seriously? My lord, when my son died, his face was beyond recognition, his eyes were gouged out, and after he died, he was eaten by wild dogs..." When she said this, her voice became more and more desolate, and when someone saw her like this, they couldn't help feeling sympathetic, shaking their heads and sighing up.

Lu Jin also sighed, stretched out his hand and patted the table heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "In broad daylight, there are such villains in the world who must be severely punished! I think Nie Qiuran should be brought forward for questioning!" The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Siqing exchanged glances, and they both acquiesced to Lu Jin's request.No matter how bad Nie Qiuran is, he is also the number one scholar and an official of the imperial court. It is not clear whether he did this or not, but Lu Jin offended people like this. Anyway, this person is a black man who is not soaked in oil and salt. On the other hand, it is better for him to offend others than for the two of us to offend others, so they both nodded slightly and said in unison: "Just do as you want!"

Nie Qiuran was already ready at this moment, and when he heard the official call from inside, he took a sip of tea in a calm manner, put down the tea bowl in his hand, straightened his clothes, and went outside to the court.As soon as he came to the court, Lu Jin patted the gavel in his hand hard, stared at him, and said with a serious expression: "Bold! Who are you going to see? Why don't you kneel when you see me!" Nie Qiuran heard this , couldn't help laughing immediately, there was some resentment in Lu Jin's words, and he could hear it, Lu Jin probably had resentment towards himself because of Qin Shuyu's almost marrying Cui Jingping, and thought he was some kind of just People who are not good, did not expect that there will be times of favoritism, which is really unexpected.

"Master Lu, did you see it clearly? I am a person with a high reputation in the court. Although I have not received an official position, I still don't kneel when I see an official. Could it be that Master Lu is old and faint, and has forgotten this matter?" Nie Qiuran raised his eyebrows. He frowned, and laughed when he looked at Lu Jin. Some of the dignitaries in the auditorium waited for Nie Qiuran to ridicule Lu Jin, and immediately laughed in relief. (To be continued.
