Chapter 506: Commutation of Sentence
"Little White Rabbit, open the door!"
"Hurry up and open, I'm going to come in!"
"I don't open it or not, I don't open it, mom didn't come back!"
"Can't open the door!"
...
A little girl in a green skirt hummed a cheerful tune. She was thin and small, with a malnourished look, but her black and white eyes were big and vivid.
At this moment, her feet were jumping slightly, holding a candy man in her hand, and from time to time she stretched out her pink tongue to lick it, following a little girl with a thorny head.
Her nickname is Xiaotu. Although she looks very thin, she is almost seven years old. She is the daughter of a poor family in Lizhi Village, Suixi, and now she has become a glorious maid.
She has been in this bustling city for several days. She likes the clean streets and the shops with complicated goods, but she is afraid of the people here.
But it’s not that the people in Leizhou City are unfriendly, but that she has been timid since she was a child than ordinary people. When a stranger came to her home, she would definitely hide behind the door or under the bed, as if a wolf came to her home.
.
My understanding of the outside world mainly comes from her dead grandmother. Her grandmother told her a lot of stories about the outside world. She said that there are many bad people in the outside world. If she is a little disobedient, she will definitely be
Eated by bad people.
It was with this awe that she was actually resistant to the outside world. But fate teased her and her family could hardly survive, and being sold to a wealthy family as a maid became the only way out.
After coming to this strange city, looking at the strange faces made her feel very scared. Thanks to Miss Yu, her fear dissipated a lot.
"Miss, wait for me!"
The little rabbit was too addicted to the smell of sugar people. After finding that her lady had left, she immediately felt a sense of fear. She was worried that her lady would be captured, and she was also worried that she would be captured by the bad guys.
Then, I hurriedly chased after him.
Sometimes, she didn't understand why her lady was like this. The lady rarely stayed at home honestly and always liked to run out of the street, as if she was not afraid of being caught by bad people at all. She seemed to be not at all about the outside world.
Fear.
"Miss, Miss!"
When she rushed over, she found that her lady was gone. Her face was pale and a chill surged from the soles of her feet, and tears immediately surged into her eyes.
Just as she was about to cry, the aunt at the stall next to her asked for money, pointed to the other side kindly and said, "Little Rabbit, isn't your lady there?"
ah?
When she heard this, she wiped her tears and looked around. Sure enough, she saw her own lady in the crowd, as if she was talking about something with others.
When she walked over, stood behind the lady, smelled her familiar smell, she immediately felt a sense of security. The lady was very serious and was dealing with the dispute seriously.
It turned out that two adults were competing for the stalls in this place, and a fierce man wanted to steal the thin aunt's stall, so this dispute arose.
The lady put her waist on her waist and said with a reasonable and reasonable basis: "Although you set up a stall here yesterday, Aunt Zhao has been setting up a stall here since then. She came earlier than you today, why should she give it to you
ah?"
"Yes! That's the reason. Why do you have to steal someone's stall? This is not something that can be done with a big fist!" The people next to him agreed and accused the man of the big man.
Although the man was strong, he was just an ordinary villager. He took the mountain goods to the city for sale. Faced with the accusations from everyone, after learning the truth, he apologized solemnly, and then carried his goods to another place.
.
Little Rabbit looked at this scene behind the lady, and she was very happy to hear that the lady was praised by others. She found that her lady was very brave and knew a lot, and she felt more and more.
It's safe.
When she was lost, the lady ordered two kebabs and gave her one.
When she took the fragrant mutton skewers, she felt a sense of happiness. Here, she no longer needs to be frozen and hungry. She has warm and beautiful clothes to wear, and there are many delicious foods. The lady is really nice to her.
.
She still had some silver in her pocket, which gave her an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. She was even no longer so afraid of this strange world, and sometimes she felt a little expectation, but the premise was to follow her lady
The back.
The lady likes shopping and likes fresh or weird things, and whenever the shopkeepers of a shop would entertain them enthusiastically. When they arrived at a jewelry store, she followed the lady in again.
There are many types of jewelry stores, including all kinds of jewelry, including gold and silver jewelry, as well as gemstone jewelry, copper, and beautiful wooden jewelry.
But her lady did not go to the gold and silver area, nor to the jewelry area, but walked to the wooden jewelry or looked at the beautiful copper jewelry, but she usually didn't touch it.
"Miss, you are so rich, why don't you buy a gold hairpin?"
After she came out of the store, she asked her questions. In her perception, rich people like Miss must spend money like money, but she never saw Miss buying anything valuable.
This question seemed to stump the lady suddenly, but she frowned and pondered for a while, then she gave the answer as a matter of course: "I won't spend so much money!"
Don't spend money indiscriminately?
Although the little rabbit didn't understand very well, she found that the lady did this, and she picked practical things and bought them home.
One shop after another, I went to the teahouse to listen to the book for a while, but the lady said that it was not as good as her brother, and then left. What just puzzled her was that the lady kept walking towards Guangchao North Street
, there is no intention of turning it back.
"Miss!"
"What's the matter!"
"Let's go back! We're going to leave the city soon!"
"Oh! If you want to go back, go back by yourself. I have something to do!"
...
As she was about to walk to the city gate, she found that the lady had no intention of stopping, and shouted immediately. What just worried her was that the lady had no intention of stopping and still headed towards the city gate.
Fortunately, the lady did not really leave the city, but went to the city gate, followed the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate to take advantage of the chairs, and then sat there waiting for people with her.
It was almost evening when she saw a fast horse coming from the north. The fast horse was the lady's bodyguard Ali. She also saw the lady's happy appearance and waved to Ali excitedly.
It was mid-October and the weather was getting colder.
Leizhou Prefecture is located on the Leizhou Peninsula. It has been experiencing the blowing of sea breezes from east to west and south for many years. A cold air from the north swept across, making Leizhou City feel a chill.
However, the people of Leizhou City felt that it was much gentler than in previous years. Not only did the streets appear more lively, but their lives have also improved. For example, those families who work as female workers in Lianmaofang do not have to worry about food and clothing.
According to a statistical data, the sales volume of fire cages and charcoal this year has been several times higher than in previous years, which is undoubtedly a proof of the improvement of the living standards of the people in Leizhou City.
In addition to improving the quality of life, their spiritual world has also been somewhat satisfied. Since the new magistrate took office, not only has the bully Jia Bao been defeated, but also has maintained judicial justice.
Especially in dealing with land disputes, their prefect, Lin Lei, showed great skills. Not only did they not favor the landlords, but they also stood on the side of the people, which was really satisfying.
When he heard that Lord Man Zun was going to try the case in court again today, a large group of idle people also rushed towards the government office, and some smart vendors carried things to the square in front of the government office.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.
Now that Lin Lei Gong is already famous, as long as he holds a public trial in Leizhou Prefecture, the main courtyard will be overcrowded. Some people admire Lin Yanran's talent, while others are just talking about fresh topics.
But what puzzled them was that Diao Chaosheng, who was brought up, seemed to be full of energy. He seemed to have not suffered any prison pain, and seemed to be full of energy, and bowed proudly to the people in the hall.
"What's going on?"
"Mr. Lin Lei was corroded?"
"It seems that the name of King Lin Lei will be removed today!"
...
When many people looked at Diao Chaosheng's appearance, their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley and an unknown premonition arose. From his relaxed behavior, it can be inferred that he was not worried about his destiny.
There was particularly news that Diao Nan traveled west with Lin Lei Gong during the Mu Mu day the day before yesterday. They apologized for a long time. With such a friendship, I am afraid that Diao Chaosheng would really make a mistake, and Lin Lei Gong would not pursue it again.
However, many people don’t believe that Lin Lei Gong has really been corrupted, and chose to wait and see, but their eyes inevitably showed worry.
whee……
Diao Chaosheng felt a little proud in his heart. During these days in the cell, he had no hardship at all. Apart from being restricted from freedom, he had whatever he wanted, and could eat big fish and meat all day long.
To his jail, I'm afraid it's rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"See Lord Mansion!"
Diao Chaosheng came to the hall, but did not choose to kneel down, but instead saluted Lin Qingran with a smile. This was actually a temptation. He wanted to know where the bottom line of this adult would be.
Sitting upright in the hall was Lin Weiran, wearing a fifth-rank court robes, leaning against Hai Yueyaer's screen, with a plaque of justice and integrity on his head, and a strong sense of authority scattered on his body.
However, facing Diao Chaosheng's behavior of not kneeling, he turned a blind eye to it and slowly spoke: "Young Master Diao, you are about to become a student of the Imperial College. You should be diligent in your studies in the future and repay the country in the future!"
"Kid, please follow the teachings of yourselves!" Diao Chaosheng bowed and bowed. After this storm, he was about to be arranged by his father to study in the Imperial College, but it was a great misfortune.
"I am thinking of your first offense and will go to the Imperial College in Beijing for further study, and I have also become a little proud of my talent! Our government decided to reduce your punishment for you and change your seven-day shackles to three days!" Lin Qingran looked at him without squintingly.
He said to him slowly.
"Thank you, sir!" Diao Chaosheng saluted happily, his eyes lit up and said.
He knew that his father had indeed helped him open the joints, but he didn't know what tricks his father used. If he turned the new magistrate into his own dog, he might be able to taste the taste of the female worker in the United Workshop.
But as soon as this said, the people around were thundering.
"Three days of resentment?"
"This is definitely a protection from officials!"
"Yes, this is clearly protecting this young master who is a disciple of Taoism, and he is useless to give the name of Lin Lei Gong!"
...
However, the people in the hall became fussy, and their favor towards Lin Weiran dropped to freezing point, and they all blamed them.
It turned out that the rumors were true. Lin Lei Gong was really done by Lord Diao in the sub-scheduled road. In fact, Diao Chaosheng's sentencing was reduced by half with a very far-fetched reason, which was clearly a protection for officials.
"quiet!"
Lin Weiran slapped the agglomeration and said in a deep voice.
"mighty!"
Twelve yamen workers holding long sticks of water and fire were neatly pounded on the floor, and their voices were made in coordination, demonstrating the majesty of the court and calming the people in the church.
"Why is the cultural fortune of Leizhou Prefecture not prosperous over the years? It is the result of your lack of emphasis on culture and education! From today on, all scholars from Leizhou Prefecture, if they have no major mistakes, their punishment will be lenient!" Lin Qingran looked at the hall and looked down on the hall.
The quiet people said word by word.
In fact, this is not the case that the people do not value culture and education, but because the people are too poor and cannot afford to eat, so they can still offer their children's studies. However, Lin Qingran's use of the subject to play the role of the issue has also blocked some people's mouths.
After all, it is still easy to start with cultural and educational aspects, and then reduce the sentence for Diao Chaosheng, who is about to become a student of the Imperial College.
"The word "official" is open! It's just that the official protects each other and helps this Diao Young Master, but he speaks so well!"
Some people questioned, obviously seeing through the dark side of the officialdom. Some people also agreed with this view. Even if Lin Shiran spoke beautifully, it undoubtedly benefited Diao Chaosheng, and this matter could not avoid criticism.
What is certain is that after this incident comes out, Lin Yanran's official voice will inevitably be damaged.
Diao Chaosheng looked behind him, and snorted contemptuously, not taking these untouchables in his heart, and then respectfully saluted Lin Xuran: "Master, that kid will take his leave first, and will not delay the case trial!"
According to the punishment, his three-day period had passed, so he could naturally leave in court.
"You can't leave yet!" Lin Qingran looked up and down at him, shook his head slowly.
"Why?" Diao Chaosheng was about to turn around and leave this ghost place, but Lin Weiran's words were unexpected and he was stunned.
"Because you are the real murderer of the Wang family!" Lin Weiran's eyes were no longer gentle, but seemed aggressive, and stabbed Diao Chaosheng's chest like a sharp sword.
Chapter completed!
