Because she was worried about solving the case and looking for Li Manman, Yan Bing couldn't care about traveling at public expense, even if she was so bumpy on the road that she wanted to vomit, she couldn't bear the discomfort and took the initiative to ask for a non-stop gallop all the way.

Not only did she speed up her pace on the way, but she also clearly felt that Wen Yuan was also in a hurry when he was on an errand.

In the previous cases, it took about five days each time, and the fixed process was to first pretend to be a businessman, repeatedly inquire about the case in the neighborhood, and then knock on the side to contact the victim to compare the confession, find out the omissions, and then find human and physical evidence, and finally reveal his identity and retry the case with the local government.

The whole process is reasonable, Wen Yuan will even personally go to the door of witnesses, and persuade the other party to testify, and when the case is tried, it is also reasonable to present the facts, and strictly follow the "three-trial system" in accordance with the law, and the case is closed only after the three court interrogations and confessions are unanimous.

After a rush of time, Yan Bing suddenly found that her husband's painting style had changed drastically. The step of inquiring about the case from the side to find the omissions cannot be omitted, but after that, his mantra has changed from knowing to reason, moving to feeling:

"Don't want to testify? That's fine, if you don't be a witness, you can be tried together as an accomplice - take it away! ”

"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin...... Serve the sticks. ”

"The evidence is conclusive, and you dare to quibble? Twenty! ”

"Do you say it or don't you say it?! Someone, interrogate the cane! ”

……

Yan Bing regretted that she was bored and ran to the scene to watch during the public interrogation, which almost scared her eyes.

I saw my husband wearing the same new red official robe as when he got married, sitting upright in the middle of the hall with a straight face, his expression was almost full of fierceness, his words were aggressive, and his eyes looked at the criminal like a fierce wolf, and the torture was unrelenting, and it could even be called ruthless.

It seems that anyone between the ages of fifteen and seventy who is physically fit and able to be tortured can be punished without thinking.

In the continuous crackling sound, Yan Bing, who has been deeply educated in the legal system of "strictly prohibiting torture to extract confessions" for decades, really couldn't stand it, and quietly withdrew from the crowd under the escort of Rong Shiyi without waiting for her husband to finish questioning the case.

At night, Wen Yuan stepped back to the post house in the continuous drizzle of early summer, and when he looked up in the main room, he saw his wife wearing a moon-white shirt, sitting in front of the window and staring at the crescent moon in a daze.

She must have just finished bathing and freshening up, her cherry mouth was half-open and half-closed, her cheeks were slightly red, and her black hair seemed to be moisturized.

Because her hair was on her shoulders, Wen Yuan couldn't help but take a look, only to see her thin cotton placket loosely covered, unconsciously revealing a little tender white and a little red.

The faint musk fragrance wafted out from the red sweat towel tied to Yan Bing's body, and the scene seemed to be alive and attractive.

His throat tightened uncontrollably, and he stepped forward slowly, then grabbed his wife's shoulder, trying to reach out and shake it.

"Ahh Yan Bing screamed and slapped Wen Yuan's hand, jumped away from the bamboo chair, and then looked at him with a little nervousness, Nuo Nuo said, "Back, are you back?" Hey, that's scary. ”

"When did you become so small?" Wen Yuan didn't know that his wife had suffered a shock in the yamen today, and continued to step forward with a smile.

took the soft cloth in front of the table to help her wipe her hair, and took the opportunity to rub her cheeks, rub the tips of her ears, and tease endlessly.

Yan Bing listened to her husband's calm laughter as if he was fine, but she felt that her ears seemed to be echoing the bitter cry of the murderer in Fang Caitang, and there seemed to be blood overflowing in her eyes.

The whole person suddenly stiffened like a stake, and subconsciously raised his arm and pushed Wen Yuan's hand away - I didn't want him to touch him.

Although he didn't know why, he also noticed that something was wrong with his wife, and asked with a puzzled face, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay," Yan Bing smiled reluctantly, lowered her head and staggered her gaze, "It's probably that the menstrual affair is coming, my lower abdomen is a little uncomfortable, I don't want to, well, that, you know." ”

"......" Wen Yuan frowned at her, paused and said two words lightly, "Lie." ”

In fact, he was just stating the facts based on observations, but Yan Bing immediately thought of Fang Cai's court, and every time he shouted "a bunch of nonsense" followed by torture, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Are you scared?" Afraid of me? Wen Yuan immediately saw the clue, and after a little thought, he was surprised, "You have gone to see the case in the past two days?" ”

"Well," Yan Bing stared at the ground and grinded her toes, shrunk her neck and snorted from her nose, and then suddenly realized that this answer was not appropriate, and quickly explained, "It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that I'm a little unused to it." ”

is not used to seeing his handsome gentleman and gentle husband with his own eyes, and has become a fierce and cruel official who stares at anyone.

"Because I'm tortured?" Wen Yuan looked at Yan Bing with an innocent face, and defended himself, "It is a gift to establish good and prevent evil, and it is forbidden to establish a law." Is it wrong to uphold justice according to the law and severely punish the wicked? ”

She mustered up the courage to look up at her husband, and asked rhetorically, "But, law-abiding and harsh punishment are two different things, right?" ”

Wen Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "How can you quickly pry open the murderer's mouth without punishment?" We have to rush to Yangzhou to find your cousin. ”

He pretended to say that he became murderous because he was in a hurry, but in fact, he was just revealing his true form, and he wanted to pretend to be polite in front of his wife, but now he has no time to stop acting.

Yan Bing, who was extremely upright, didn't know anything about this, and twisted her fingers weakly to object: "We can't harm others in a hurry." ”

"Where is it harmful? I'm trying to help the victim as much as I can. Wen Yuan immediately changed his words, and solemnly argued with his wife: "You have also read the "Historical Records", Taishi Gong said: The law guides the people, and the punishment prohibits adultery. It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with the rational use of punishment. ”

"Huh? Huh? Oh. Although she had read "Historical Records", it was impossible for Yan Bing, who could not remember every word, was immediately confused.

A soft girl who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, she can't forget the second half of Taishi Gong's sentence at all: "Serving the job and reasoning can also be governed, why be majestic?" That is, officials can govern the people well by strictly abiding by their duties, and there is no need to use a harsh legal system.

Then, Yan Bing was forcibly suppressed by Wen Yuan with a large list of sage words before she could argue a few words, and she was stunned.

I want to know, how can a boudoir woman compare to Tanhualang's eloquence? After Yan Bing was refuted, the days of the couple hurrying and asking questions went on step by step.

At the end of April, the group finally switched from land to water and quickly headed south to Yangzhou.

In the meantime, Yan Bing encountered another problem - she was seasick! Walking all the way and vomiting all the way, the yellow and green bitter bile vomited out.

Moreover, she didn't know that she would be seasick, and the seven-day trip to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River was no problem in her previous life, and she also went to the painting boat during the Qujiang banquet in this life, but she didn't expect that she would be so disgusted that she couldn't swallow the black plum when she really took a small rippling boat.

Maybe because I was drowned in the first place, so I couldn't get close to the water? I think it's because the painting boat is bigger, more like a pavilion, so I think it doesn't matter?

Seeing that his wife couldn't eat and sleep well, and his clothes were getting wider and haggard, Wen Yuan was so anxious that he couldn't care about studying Li Manman's case anymore.

When he arrived at the ** county of Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, he completely forgot that Zhu was a local, and he didn't try his luck to find Li Manman, but took his wife with a white face and fluttering legs to live on the shore for three days to recuperate.

This ** county barrier Jiangning, adjacent to Jiangdu, has always been a battleground for soldiers, with an important geographical location and convenient transportation, so its prosperity is comparable to that of Gyeonggi County.

It wasn't until she left the county town that Yan Bing finally had the strength to lift the carriage curtain and look around, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I've been lying down for too long and missed the good scenery." ”

He then smiled lightly and said with relief: "It's okay, the next destination is Yangzhou Jiangdu, which is more prosperous." It happened that I met the Dragon Boat Festival again, the dragon boat race, and the flower fight, which was enough for you to see the dazzling eyes. ”

Hearing this, Yan Bing's expression froze, and she immediately thought of her cousin Li Manman, and asked, "This Yangzhou Douhua will not be a simple Douhua, right?" What kind of fighting method is it? ”

She heard that there are many Qinglou in Jiangdu, and if you want to be divided into first and second class, you must work hard at the Douhua Meeting, and if you are lucky enough to win the first prize, you will enter the gold bucket every day.

Since you want to be superior, I don't think it will be better than the flowers raised by the ladies in your building.

If you compete in talent, I don't know if you can meet the long man with excellent dance skills?
