"Little White Rabbit, open the door!"

"Hurry up, I'm coming in!"

"If you don't open it, you won't open it, my mother won't come back!"

"Can't open the door!"

……

A little girl in a green dress hummed a cheerful tune, her figure was thin and small, and she looked malnourished, but her black and white eyes were large and focused.

At this time, her feet were jumping slightly, holding a candy man tightly in her hand, and from time to time she stretched out her pink tongue to lick it, and was following behind a little girl with a tiger head.

Her nickname is Little Rabbit, although she looks skinny, she is almost seven years old, the daughter of a poor family in Suixi Lychee Village, and now she has become a glorious maid.

She had been in this bustling city for days, liking the clean streets and the shops with all the goods, but she was afraid of the people.

But it's not that the people in Leizhou City are unfriendly, it's that she has been less courageous than ordinary people since she was a child. In the past, when a stranger came to the house, she would hide behind the door of the house or under the bed, as if there were a jackal in the house.

Her knowledge of the outside world mainly comes from her dead grandmother, who told her many stories about the outside world. said that there are many, many bad people in the outside world, and if she is a little disobedient, she will definitely be eaten by the bad guys.

It is with this awe that she actually resists the outside world. It's just that fate played tricks on her, and her family could hardly survive, and being sold to a rich family as a maid became the only way out.

After coming to this strange city, she felt very scared to see the unfamiliar faces. It was also thanks to Miss that her fear dissipated a lot.

"Miss, you wait for me!"

The little rabbit was too addicted to the taste of sugar people, and after finding out that his young lady had gone away, he immediately felt a wave of fear in his heart. She was worried that her young lady had been arrested, and that she herself had been caught by the bad guys at once, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Sometimes, she doesn't understand why her young lady is like this. The young lady seldom stays at home honestly, and always likes to run out of the street, as if she is not afraid of being caught by the bad guys, and does not seem to be afraid of the outside world at all.

"Miss, Miss!"

When she rushed over, she found that her young lady was gone, her face turned pale in an instant, a chill welled up from the soles of her feet, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Just as she was about to cry, the aunt at the stall next to her found money for someone, kindly pointed over there and said, "Little rabbit, isn't your young lady there?" ”

Yes?

When she heard this, she wiped away her tears, and immediately looked around, and sure enough, she saw her own young lady in the crowd, as if she was following someone else's theory.

When she walked over and stood behind the young lady, smelling her familiar scent, she felt a sense of security. And the young lady's attitude is very serious, and she is dealing with the dispute seriously.

It turned out that two adults were fighting for this place to set up a stall, and a fierce man wanted to rob the thin aunt's stall, so this dispute arose.

The young lady crossed her waist and said reasonably: "Although you set up a stall here yesterday, Aunt Zhao has always set up a stall here in the future, and she came earlier than you today, why should she let it be given to you?" ”

"That's right! That's the reason, why should you grab someone's stall, this thing can't be done with a big fist! The people next to him echoed and accused the big man.

Although the Han is strong, he is just an ordinary villager, and this mountain goods are brought to the city to sell. In the face of everyone's accusations, after learning the truth, he solemnly apologized, and then carried his goods elsewhere.

Little Rabbit watched this scene behind Miss, and she was very happy to hear Miss being praised by others. She found that her young lady was very bold and knowledgeable, and she was really powerful, and she felt more and more safe.

When she lost her mind, the young lady asked for two kebabs and gave her one each.

When she received the fragrant lamb skewers, she felt a sense of happiness. Here, she doesn't need to be cold and hungry anymore, she has warm and beautiful clothes to wear, and there are a lot of good food, and the lady is really good to her.

She still had some silver taels in her pocket, which made her feel more satisfied than ever. Even if I am no longer so afraid of this strange world, sometimes I will have a small sense of anticipation, but the premise must be behind the young lady.

Ladies love to go shopping, they like new or quirky things, and the shopkeeper of every shop will welcome them warmly. When she arrived at a jewelry store, she followed the young lady inside.

This jewellery shop has a wide variety of jewellery with everything from gold and silver jewellery to gemstone jewellery, to copper jewellery and beautiful wood jewellery.

It's just that her young lady didn't go to the gold and silver area, nor to the jewelry area, but went to the wooden jewelry, or to look at the beautiful copper jewelry, but she usually didn't touch it.

"Miss, you are so rich, why don't you buy a golden hairpin to wear?"

After coming out of the shop, she asked the doubts in her heart. In her cognition, a rich person like Miss must be a spendthrift, but she never sees Miss buy anything valuable.

This question seemed to stump the young lady suddenly, but she frowned and pondered for a while, and then gave a natural answer: "I won't spend so much money!" ”

Don't spend money randomly?

Although Little Rabbit didn't understand very well, she found that Miss did this, and she was picking up practical things to buy at home.

I went to the teahouse to listen to the book for a while, but the young lady said that it was not as good as her brother's, and then left. It's just that what made her wonder was that the young lady kept walking towards Guangchao North Street and didn't mean to turn back.

"Miss!"

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go back! It's about to leave the city! ”

"Oops! If you want to go back, go back by yourself, I have something to do! ”

……

Seeing that she was about to reach the city gate, she found that the young lady had no intention of stopping, and even shouted. But what worried her was that the young lady had no intention of stopping, and still headed towards the city gate.

Fortunately, the young lady did not really go out of the city, but went to the city gate, followed the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate to borrow chairs, and then followed her to sit there and wait for someone.

It was almost evening, but I saw a fast horse coming from the north, and the fast horse was the young lady's bodyguard, Ali. And she also saw the happy appearance of the young lady, and waved to Ali excitedly.

By mid-October, the weather was getting colder.

Leizhou Mansion is located on the Leizhou Peninsula, and it feels the sea breeze blowing from the east and west all the year round, and a cold air from the north swept in, making Leizhou City feel a chill.

It's just that the people of Leizhou City feel that it is much milder than in previous years, not only the streets are more lively, but their lives have also improved, like those families who go to the Lian Cooperative Workshop to work as female workers, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

According to a statistic, the sales volume of fire cages and charcoal this year is several times more than that of previous years, which is undoubtedly a strong proof of the improvement of the living standards of the people in Leizhou City.

In addition to the improvement of their quality of life, their spiritual world has also been satisfied. Since the arrival of the new prefect, he has not only defeated the bully Jia Bao, but also maintained judicial fairness.

In particular, in the matter of handling land disputes, their prefect Lin Leigong showed a very strong skill, not only did not favor the big landlords, but also sided with the common people, which was really very happy.

After hearing that the Lord Fuzun was going to try the case in court today, a large group of idlers also flocked to the mansion, and some shrewd traders carried things to the square in front of the mansion.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Now Lin Lei Gong has already become famous, as long as he holds a public trial in Leizhou Mansion, it will inevitably make the main courtyard overcrowded. There are people who admire Lin Haoran's talent, and there are people who are purely for freshly baked talking points.

But what puzzled them was that Diao Chaosheng, who was brought up, seemed to be in high spirits. The whole person did not seem to suffer any prison suffering, seemed to be in good spirits, and proudly bowed his hand to the people under the hall.

"What's going on?"

"Lin Lei Gong has been corroded?"

"It seems that Lin Leigong's name is going to be eliminated today!"

……

When looking at Diao Chaosheng's appearance, many people's hearts sank to the bottom, and an ominous premonition swelled. From his relaxed demeanor, it can be inferred that he is not worried about his fate.

In particular, there is news that Diao Nan followed Lin Leigong to the west during the period of Mu Mu the day before yesterday, and the two met late. With this kind of friendship, I'm afraid that Diao Chaosheng really committed something, and Lin Leigong will not pursue it anymore.

However, many people didn't believe that Lin Lei was really corrupted, and chose to wait and see what happened, but their eyes inevitably showed worry.

Hee-hee......

Diao Chaosheng's heart swelled with a little pride, these days in the cell, he didn't suffer at all. Except for being restricted in his freedom, he can have whatever he wants, and he can eat big fish and meat all day long.

Sitting in prison for his share is probably rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"See Lord Fuzun!"

Diao Chaosheng came to the front of the hall, but did not choose to kneel, but saluted Lin Haoran with a smile. This was actually a temptation, and he wanted to know where the bottom line would be for this adult.

Sitting upright in the hall was Lin Haoran, who was wearing a five-grade court uniform, with his back against the Haiyue'er screen, a fair and honest plaque on his head, and a strong official authority on his body.

It's just that in the face of Diao Chaosheng's behavior of not kneeling, he turned a blind eye to it, and slowly said: "Diao Gongzi, you are about to become a student of Guozijian, you should be diligent in your studies in the future, and you will serve the country in the future!" ”

"Boy, follow the teachings of your lords!" Diao Chaosheng bowed. After this turmoil, he was about to be arranged by his father to study in the country, but it was a misfortune in great luck.

"This is the first offender of this mansion, and he is about to go to the capital to further his studies, and he also has some cherishing talents! This government has decided to reduce your sentence by changing your seven-day shackles to three days! Lin Haoran didn't squint and said to him slowly.

"Thank you, sir!" Diao Chaosheng saluted happily, his eyes shining brightly.

He knew that his father had really helped him open the joint, but he didn't know what trick his father used. If he directly turns this new prefect into his own dog, then he may be able to taste the taste of the female workers in the joint workshop.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the people around were in a bang.

"Commuted to three days?"

"This is definitely the protection of officials and officials!"

"That's right, this is clearly to protect the son of this sub-patrol Taoist, and in vain to the name of Lin Lei Gong!"

……

The people in the hall were in a commotion, and their good impression of Lin Haoran fell to the freezing point, and they blamed one after another.

It turned out that the rumors were true, and Lin Lei Gongzhen was really done by Master Diao, who was divided into patrol roads. Unexpectedly, when the reason was very far-fetched, Diao Chaosheng's sentencing was reduced by more than half, which was clearly to protect the officials.

"Silence!"

Lin Haoran slapped the shocked wood and said in a deep voice.

"Wei ...... Military! ”

Twelve yacha armed with long sticks of water and fire were neatly pounded on the floor, and their mouths made sound in unison, showing the majesty of this public hall and quieting the people under the hall.

"Why Leizhou Mansion has not prospered in literature over the years, it is the fruit of your lack of attention to culture and education! From today on, all the scholars in Leizhou Mansion, if there is no major mistake, the government will be punished lightly! Lin Haoran looked at the quiet people in the hall and said word by word.

In fact, this is why the people do not pay attention to culture and education, but because the people are too poor, they can't afford to eat, where can they still provide their children with education. It's just that Lin Haoran used the topic to play like this, and he also blocked some people's mouths.

After all, it is more reasonable to start with culture and education, and then reduce the sentence of Diao Chaosheng, who is about to become a prisoner of the country.

"Two mouths of the official word! It's just that the officials are protecting each other and helping this Diao Gongzi, but he said it so high-soundingly! ”

Some people questioned it, obviously seeing through the shady scenes of officialdom. Some people also agree with this point of view, even if Lin Haoran speaks beautifully, but it undoubtedly benefits Diao Chaosheng, and this matter cannot avoid the voice of accusation.

What is certain is that after this incident comes out, it will inevitably damage Lin Haoran's official reputation.

Diao Chaosheng glanced behind him, snorted contemptuously in his nostrils, and did not take these untouchables to heart in his heart, and then respectfully saluted Lin Haoran and said: "Lord Fuzun, that kid will retire first, and will not delay the adult's trial!" ”

According to the punishment, his three-day period has passed, and he can naturally leave the court.

"You can't go yet!" Lin Haoran looked him up and down, and slowly shook his head.

"Why?" Diao Chaosheng was about to turn around and leave this ghost place, but Lin Haoran's words were unexpected, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Because you are the real murderer of the Wang family!" Lin Haoran's gaze was no longer gentle, but aggressive, stabbing at Diao Chaosheng's chest like a sharp sword.

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall were silent, and I am afraid that more than 100 people had their mouths open and their eyes staring.
