Chapter 126
"My lord? My lord?" Cui Jian and another Fan Shilang looked at each other, not knowing what to do.Although their own ministers didn't move, they, as subordinates, had no choice but to stay aside peacefully and let the stormy waves in their hearts hit the shore.
After a long time, when Cui Jian and Fan Shilang felt that their legs were completely numb and crumbling, Master Shang Shu finally opened his mouth.
"Fan Shilang has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is returning home to recuperate." Qu Quan's voice was floating, as if all her strength had been sucked out, she turned to look at Cui Jian, her eyes were also misty, "Cui Jian is going to the jury."
Cui Jian was afraid that something might be wrong, so she asked: "Twelve guards generals are interrogating, can the lower officials be jurors?"
Qu Quan blinked weakly, and nodded, "According to Da Xia's laws and regulations, except for the Son of Heaven, if officials from the Ministry of Punishments are presided over by non-officials from the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment are qualified to be jurors."
"I obey orders." After Cui Jian bowed, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, and got into the carriage at the same time as Fan Shilang, and then the two carriages parted ways.
An absurd banquet was gathered in a hurry, and it also dispersed in a hurry. Qu Quan walked alone on the avenue of Jinling City.The street during the day is late at night, it seems that the prosperity of the whole life is about to wither. If there is no noise during the day, will you not feel the desolation of the night?Qu Quan thought about it and stopped walking, suddenly looked up and saw the sky was dark and the shadow was desolate.
Seeing Shangshu stop, the carriage following behind him drove forward, "My lord, do you want to return?"
Return or not?
Where to go?
I still remember that when I was a child, my family was not strict, and I liked to take my maids out to go shopping in the market. Although the street was full of fun and lively things, but after a long time of shopping, I felt that it was not very interesting.Although the aunt who sells food and the uncle who sells novelty gadgets are amiable on the surface, they will praise you when they see you, but if you take their things and don't give money, they can immediately perform a change of face without money in front of your eyes play.
As you grow older, your family situation changes dramatically, and there are face-changing scenes around you every day, which makes you feel so painful that you can't cope.Every word and every plan is like walking on a cable bridge in the abyss. The bottom is far below you and you can’t see the bottom. In the fog and mist, countless hands will stretch out, trying to pull you down, and you will fall into the endless hell. .When his body was blown by the fierce wind on the cliff, he had to bandage his own wound, and there was no one to complain to when he was tired.Looking back, the way back has long been submerged in the mist that covers the sky and the sun, but looking at the journey, we can't see the distance clearly and can't estimate the danger of overlapping.
If you ask whether to return, it is because you still have a way back.
But for me, there is only an extremely insane desire/thought left, and I need to fight for my life to pursue it.
I have no way back.
Chapter 70 Do You Care?
Wei Yueyan returned to the General's Mansion at about the end of Mo Chou's time, the butler squinted his eyes and came to answer the door, Wei Yueyan took the lantern in his hand and signaled that he would go back.When he came to the bedroom, he gently opened the door and closed it again, extinguishing the fire in the lantern and putting it aside.While undressing and walking around the flickering picture screen, a cold voice sounded from behind her.
"The general is back."
Wei Yueyan's back stiffened, and he turned around slowly, only to see Ling Qiufan wearing a frost-colored gauze dress, holding an orange-red hydrangea bird sitting in front of the desk and staring at her.
"Madam still not sleeping so late?" Wei Yueyan quickly recovered from the daze, and unbuttoned his clothes one by one again, "Could it be that Madam is waiting for me?"
"Exactly." Ling Qiufan nodded, and put the hydrangea bird in his arms on the table, the orange-red hydrangea bird jumped up and down in front of an apricot-yellow hydrangea bird, chatting chirpingly.
Of course, Wei Yueyan was not so naive as to think that his wife was waiting for her because she thought so much about her. After thinking about it, she untied her robe and threw it aside casually, took a loose coat from the hanger and put it on. , moved a chair upright and sat down in front of Madam.
"Madam, do you have something to say?"
Ling Qiufan pursed his lips, "General, what are you doing so late?"
Wei Yueyan felt that there was nothing to hide from Ling Qiufan, so she told the truth, "Catch the mastermind of the serial murders, Shi Zhuang."
This time, Ling Qiufan was surprised. He didn't expect Wei Yueyan to admit it so straightforwardly. Facing Wei Yueyan's frankness, Ling Qiufan decided not to make any detours, and cut straight to the point, "That history is the result of a serial murder case. Is it the real murderer?"
The candle seemed to flicker for a moment, Wei Yueyan looked at the cinnabar tear mole in the corner of his wife's eye, and was a little dazzled, "At present, the evidence is solid."
"Did Master Qu interrogate?" Ling Qiufan asked again.
Wei Yueyan turned his eyes away, and stopped looking at the tear mole that seemed to be fascinated by people's hearts. Hearing his wife's question again, he replied: "The man was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment should avoid suspicion."
"This case has developed to this day, and only you and Mr. Qu are qualified to review it. Mr. Qu can't try it, so you went to the trial?"
Although the Xia Dynasty has been freed from the shackles of the previous dynasty, there are still very few people who become officials and marry wives.Most girls still have to listen to the admonitions of the three obediences and the four virtues.The daughters of rich officials and merchants are no exception. They have learned female virtues and commandments from Aunt Xi's words and deeds since they were young. The thought of marrying and obeying their husbands makes them dare not disobey their husbands, let alone question their husbands. In the case of office work, even if the husband wants to hurt or even sacrifice his natal relatives, he can't resist much.But Ling Qiufan was different from them.
