(I've had a cold here for many days.) Take care of yourself. Groggy...... ）

Lin Jue said softly: "Senior sister, do you really want to wait like this forever?" I don't want you to live like this. ”

Fang Huanqiu frowned and said, "Why are you talking about this again." I'm fine, you...... You...... Come and see me more in the future. I was satisfied. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "If you don't like to hear this, I won't say it." By the way, how is my wife doing now? I haven't seen her in a long time. I didn't dare to see her, I didn't know what to say. ”

Fang Huanqiu also sighed and said, "My mother also misses you very much, but you know, my mother can't say it." Dad used to quarrel a lot some time ago, but now he doesn't quarrel at all, and he rarely even talks. The house is also lifeless. When my father went to the Yamen, my mother and I would also talk to each other. But my mother seems to have aged a lot lately, and she often wanders and turns upside down. I really don't know what to do. ”

Lin Jue frowned and didn't speak, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, it was obvious that Mrs. Fang had become like this because she was sad and sad. Mrs. Fang's personality is actually cheerful and lively, but now she is preoccupied. I actually have a lot of responsibility.

"Tonight, my mother and my father had another big fight. Daddy is in a bad mood today, and I don't know what happened outside. After coming back, I drank a few glasses of stuffy wine and quarreled with my mother. I cried bitterly, and my father was also angry, so I went to bed without eating. Hey, I don't know what's wrong with our family? Daddy was angry now, and he never was. Fang Huanqiu whispered, frowning.

Of course, Lin Jue understood the reason why Fang Dunru was in a bad mood today, and the things that happened today were already known to everyone. Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu's new law to reform the army was opposed by Yang Jun and ran aground, and with Mr. Fang's character, of course, he would not be happy. When I returned home, I was a little unhappy, so I naturally had to quarrel with my wife.

"Senior brother, do you hate your father very much now? He did that to you, I know was excessive. But can you not hate him for my sake? Or, you help him. I'm afraid Daddy needs help, and I'm worried that if this continues, Daddy will be very bad. Fang Huanqiu looked at Lin Juedao beggingly.

Lin Jue was speechless, Fang Huanqiu didn't understand what his father was bothered about, and she didn't understand that the conflict between herself and Fang Dunru was a conflict of ideas, not an emotional conflict. It's just that the conflict of political ideas affected the master-apprentice relationship between the two, and finally evolved into an irreconcilable situation. Lin Jue also made many efforts, but ultimately failed. Fang Dunru's personality is too stubborn and self-serving, and it is impossible for Lin Jue to follow him unprincipledly, so in fact, there is no possibility of restoring the relationship between them. Even if Lin Jue wanted to help, he couldn't help it. Not to mention that Lin Jue is thinking very clearly now, not only can he not help, but he will oppose the new law. Because the new law has already begun to deviate.

But in the face of Fang Huanqiu's pleading eyes, Lin Jue couldn't tell the truth, so he could only nod and say, "I will, but if I have the chance, I will help Mr." A teacher for one day and a teacher for life, no matter what he does to me, I won't blame him after all. ”

"Great, thank you, brother, it's great. It would be nice to go back to the old days, and we could have fun together. I still remember that in the small courtyard of the back mountain of Songshan Academy, you and your father discussed poems in the courtyard, my mother was cooking in the kitchen, and I picked flowers and made flower baskets, caught butterflies, and caught insects in the vegetable garden. I've thought back to those days countless times, and I really want to go back to that time again. Fang Huanqiu said quickly with a smile on his face.

Lin Jue sighed secretly in his heart, thinking: Those days are gone.

On the fourth watch, Lin Jue had to leave. Fang Huanqiu was reluctant, kissed and kissed, kissed and kissed, hugged Lin Jue and did not let go. Lin Jue agreed to come back to see her in a few days, and Fang Huanqiu let Lin Jue leave. Watching Lin Jue jump out of the window and disappear into the night, Fang Huanqiu looked at the window for a long time, then sighed faintly, closed the window and blew the light, and went to bed to rest. The lovers met today, although it was short, but it was a great relief to the pain of lovesickness. Soon after, he snorted and fell asleep sweetly.

……

Under the scorching sun, at the gate of the west city of Changheng County, Kaifeng Prefecture, a soldier and horse of more than 500 people were slowly driving into Changheng County under the scorching sun. The soldiers were sweating profusely, their armor was covered with dust after long journeys, and their faces were covered with dirt. But the blades in their hands and the tips of their spears still shined. It sparkles in the sunlight and dazzles the eyes.

In the middle of the procession were two prisoner carts pulled by mules. In the wooden fence of the prison car, two prisoners, a man and a woman, sat on the wooden planks of the prison car, their hands and feet tightly chained to the car.

The scorching streets were deserted, but the entry of soldiers and horses into the city with great fanfare immediately aroused the onlookers of the people. At first, there were only a dozen people probing their brains nearby, and soon hundreds of people flocked to the side of the street to watch.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, look for death?" Dozens of cavalrymen wielding long whips crackled at the crowd, the streets were already narrow, and the crowd of onlookers would immediately cause congestion, so they had to use strong means to drive away these people blocking the road.

"The ...... in the car No...... Mo Brothers and ...... Sister Lee? Someone in the crowd recognized the two men in the car. Those two were the Mo family couple who were taken away by officials from the capital more than a month ago.

After being reminded, many onlookers recognized it. The Mohs couple had long been unrecognizable, unkempt, and covered in blood, and many people did not recognize them at first. But at this moment, they all recognize it.

"It's ...... What's going on? What did the officers and soldiers do when they brought back Brother Mo and Sister Li? Didn't you say that the Anglican Church was trying to rescue them? How does it look like this? It was evident that he had been tortured. ”

"yes, what's going on? Is it to be taken back and released? No, if it's released, just let it go. Is it necessary to send so many soldiers and horses? ”

"It's just that there are so many soldiers and horses all of a sudden, something is wrong. I felt like something was going to happen. ”

"Don't say it, hurry up and inform the Luo sect servant, it's not right...... It's Luo Protector. Leave it to him to decide. ”

"Yes, yes, hurry up and inform Protector Luo."

The onlookers were talking, and soon someone rushed to report the news.

At the front of the ranks of officers and soldiers, two officials on horseback, one Wen and one Wu, were scanning the crowd of onlookers. The military attache frowned and said to the civil official: "Master Pei, you announce it to the people, and we will deal with it early and finish it sooner." I can't stand it on this hot day. ”

The civil official nodded and said, "It's hard work, it's really hard." You're right, finish it early, go back to Beijing early. That Changheng County ordered He Anmin not to come to greet him, which was really rude. That's it, don't wait for him. ”

This civil official is Pei Yuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the military attache is Hou Changqing, the head of the forbidden army in front of the palace. Today's mission of the two is to escort the two murderers of the female murder case in Changheng County back to Changheng County for public trial, and at the same time carry out an important propaganda activity. All of this is arranged by the political affairs hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Changheng County, we are officials and soldiers from the capital. In a while, we will have a public trial of the Mo family, the criminals of Changheng County, on the Changheng County Ya Square, and you can come and watch. Please tell each other. Pei Yuan shouted loudly to the people around him.

Only then did the onlookers understand that the Mo couple was going to be tried publicly, and they had to be in front of the people of Changheng County. Many people immediately turned around and began to privately inform the rest of the people to go to the square. The news soon spread like wings in the small county town.

Before the team arrived at the square, He Anmin, the commander of Changheng County, finally got the news and rushed to greet him with dozens of officials. Naturally, he was inevitably reprimanded.

"He County Order, what a big shelf, I waited for half a day to enter the city, but you were nowhere to be seen. Isn't it inappropriate to take the people from our capital seriously? Hou Changqing, the head of the forbidden army in front of the palace, teased.

He Anmin hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that the two adults were coming beforehand, and I missed the welcome, and I hope to atone for my sins." ”

Pei Yuan said with a smile: "It's good to come, He County Ling is the master of Changheng County, and it will be difficult for me to come here without your assistance." He County ordered that people should be ordered to clean up the square in front of the yaqian and build a wooden platform, and we have important things to do. ”

He Anmin hurriedly said: "What is the important task of the two adults coming this time? Can you tell the lower authorities? ”

Hou Changqing pointed to the prison lane behind him: "Didn't you see it?" The case in your Changheng County is very strange. Parents kill their daughters, and they are still obsessed. The court believed that the case was contrary to human morality, so it was necessary to deal with it in public to set an example. No, it's a hot day, and after a few days of driving, I and Pei Shaoqing of Dali Temple escorted the prisoners here for public trial. ”

He Anmin was stunned, and his scalp began to tingle.

"What are you doing? Lead the way and get ahead of the way, and get things done earlier. The matter must be closed before dark. We'll be back to Beijing early tomorrow morning. Pei Yuan frowned.

"Yes, yes, this...... Dare to ask if Lord Lin from the Criminal Division is here? He Anmin agreed, but his body didn't move. An irrelevant question was also asked.

"Lord Lin of the Criminal Division? Are you talking about Lord Lin Juelin from the Criminal Division of Kaifeng Mansion? Pei Yuan said.

"It's that Lord Lin, didn't he come?" He Anmin nodded.

Hou Changqing frowned and shouted, "What? We don't have the same face as Lord Lin? He is just a person from Kaifeng Mansion, but we are a person from Dali Temple and the front division of the temple, what's the matter? Shall I be sent by him when I come? ”

"No, no, no, that's not what Xia Guan meant. These two criminals were originally taken to the capital by Lord Lin, and the lower officials thought that Lord Lin would also follow, so they just asked. Lord Lin should have come along, why didn't he come, it's strange. He Anmin explained, and muttered to himself.

Pei Yuan frowned and said, "Lord Lin doesn't care about this case, this case has already been submitted to the Political Affairs Hall." Lu Xiang designated me Dali Temple to take over. It's impossible for Lord Lin to come. ”

He Anmin nodded hurriedly and said: "Then, the lower officials dare to ask more, how will the two adults deal with them in the end when they come to Changheng County to try the criminals?" ”

"What to do? Murder pays for life, how do you say to deal with it? Later, we must behead in front of the people, otherwise how to deter these people? Hou Changqing shouted.

"Huh?" He Anmin was frightened, and smacked his lips: "Two adults, can you discuss this matter." You can be tried publicly, but how about not beheading in public? Don't ...... either. Don't do anything that irritates the people. This one...... The lower officials thought ...... Be cautious. ”

"What do you mean? He County Order, are you crazy? This is an order from the government office. It is to be beheaded in public to deter the people. You actually say such things. Hou Changqing shouted.

"No, Hou Dutou heard from the lower officials, we are here...... Kindness...... The situation is exceptional. I'm worried...... You're doing that to stir up ...... Dissatisfied with ......"

"Shut up! What was said? What's special about you here? It's just that there are some cultists. To tell you the truth, this time I came to deter these cultists. Hou Changqing shouted.

He Anmin's face turned pale, and he couldn't stop babbling in his mouth: "This can't be done, this ...... I'm afraid something is going to happen, but it really can't be done. ”

Pei Yuan said softly: "He County Order, you just have to do what you are told, this is an order from the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with you." You are responsible for helping us. Go ahead, don't waste time, but don't force me to cure you for neglect. ”

He Anmin agreed with a white face, Pei Yuan and Hou Changqing rode forward, He Anming followed behind without reluctance, and muttered to himself: "It's amazing...... Something is going to happen. Lord Lin...... No wonder you didn't come, you were shrewd, how could you let the court do this? Isn't that our lives? Those congregations...... How can you be willing? ”
