Seeing that Zhu Cang still had no intention of leaving, Zhou Yurou waved her hands anxiously.
"well!"
Seeing this, Zhu Cang could only give up.
You can't tell Zhou Yurou's true identity in advance before your lord reveals his identity, and even if you tell Zhou Yurou now, she may not believe it.
"Since Miss is unwilling, I will take my leave!"
After cupping his hands, Zhu Cang turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Such a martial arts master obviously has other agendas, and he insists on saying that he was ordered by his husband. If my husband was so capable, he wouldn't be a book writer!"
Hugging the package in her arms tightly, Zhou Yurou couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The man in black just now really shocked her.
Fortunately, we finally drove him away!
"I just hope that my husband can clear his name tomorrow and leave this place of right and wrong!"
Seeing no one around,
Zhou Yurou found a hidden corner and curled up, planning to stay up until dawn.
There is no place for anyone to live in the huge city of Chang'an. Maybe they can only find a life of their own in Dongdu.
She has already thought about it, even if she goes to Dongdu and lives the life of an ordinary farmer with Li Mo,
Planting two acres of fertile land, and working at sunrise and sunset, is not a blessing.
As everyone knows,
Zhu Cang, who had just left, did not go far, but lurked on the roof not far away to secretly protect Zhou Yurou.
Zhou Yurou is now the mistress of her family. Her character and appearance are top-notch. She is the perfect first wife of her lord, so there can be no problems.
"Sooner or later, the identity of the lord will be exposed. When the time comes...that's all, let the lord handle it by himself!"
Looking at Zhou Yurou in the far corner,
After Zhu Cang whispered something, he quietly hid himself.
.......
The moon sets, the sun rises,
Along with the gongs and drums, the four major markets in Chang'an City opened together.
After the market opened, the matter between the Zhou family and Li Mo was widely spread... After all, it is rare to encounter someone who files a lawsuit these days.
"Have you heard? The three daughters of the Zhou family were kicked out of the house by the Zhou family and have severed their relationship."
"certainly!"
"What's this? Later...the Li family also released news that they had severed ties with Li Mo. From now on, Li Mo's affairs will have nothing to do with the Li family."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really unpredictable!"
"The day before, Li Mo was still a leader, but in the blink of an eye he fell from the high altar."
"Haha, it's just that it fell too fast... Actually, when there were rumors that the three daughters of the Zhou family were destined to have their husbands killed, I didn't really believe it. Now it seems that it is really interesting."
"Well, it does have some flavor."
unconsciously,
Li Mo's matter has become a topic of conversation among many people, but these people also know that the matter involves the Minister of Rites and is subject to a court review. It is impossible for them to witness the court review with their own eyes.
Of course, just because ordinary people can't see it doesn't mean that those high officials in the DPRK can't see it.
Royal Palace, Jinluan Palace,
The emperor Li Longji is sitting on the dragon throne with a majestic look.
In the Jinluan Hall, two groups of ministers, civil and military, stood side by side. The head of the civil officials was Yang Guozhong, the Prime Minister of the Left, and the head of the military generals was named Wang Zhongsi, who was granted the title of General Protector of the Country. He was of the first rank and was himself an eighth-rank warrior.
However, although this person has a prominent reputation, his actual power cannot be compared with An Lushan.
That is to say, An Lushan has returned to Fan Yang, otherwise the head of the military attache must be An Lushan and not Wang Zhongsi.
"Every prince has his own roots to participate in the music, but he has no roots to retreat from the court!"
In front of the hall, a father-in-law who was about fifty years old shook his fly whisk and said.
This man's name was Gao Lishi, and he was the emperor's most favored eunuch, with considerable power in his hands.
"I have a plan to report!"
As soon as Gao Lishi finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform standing up holding a wat tablet.
"Oh? The Qing family wants to file a complaint against the imperial court?"
Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Longji nodded slightly.
The minister who stood up was the Minister of Rites.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that this is exactly what happened... The minister has brought all the relevant people outside the palace. Everything is ready. Please open the trial in the main hall of Your Majesty."
The official minister said hurriedly.
This is the ancestral system of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who complains to the emperor in the street is the palace judge.
"Well, then let's call the two complainants who stopped the driver."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Gao Lishi, who was waiting in front of the ground hall, bowed and shouted in a drake voice, "Bring the accuser."
...
Within a moment, Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei were brought to the Golden Palace.
The two of them had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. They just looked at each other cautiously and encouraged each other.
They stayed up all night in prison just for this moment.
A little salute,
"You two are suing Li Mo, the ninth-grade scribe, and Zhou Yuan, the minister of rites?"
On the dragon throne, Li Longji asked.
As the emperor, Li Longji would not care about a clerk from the ninth rank, but this incident attracted his attention. Firstly, it involved the Minister of Rites, and secondly, Li Mo was from the Li family after all.
descendants,
Li Mo's grandfather Li Longye is his brother, and they have a close relationship.
"Your Majesty, the common people are suing Li Mo and the Minister of Rites... This Li Mo did not have any great achievements when he was far away in the Eastern Capital. Later, he relied on a copy clerk to make a fortune..."
Asked by the emperor,
Jiang Yunyi swallowed nervously, but when he mentioned Li Mo's crime, he gradually forgot the fear in his heart.
One complaint only takes half a stick of incense.
Not only did he describe Li Mo as worthless, but he also said that Zhou Yuan was using his position to gain an official position for his son-in-law, etc.
After saying that, Jiang Yunyi glanced at his nephew again.
According to his words, there was no need for Li Mo and Zhou Yuan to go to the palace to defend themselves. As long as Zhao Hai admitted that Journey to the West was written by him, he could directly convict Li Mo of his crime.
As for whether Zhao Hai will admit it?
In their minds, this was a sure thing.
"Oh? So the Journey to the West Shie Chronicle was written by Zhao Hai?"
Li Longji frowned slightly.
He knows very well who Zhao Hai is, and Dongdu Biejia, who was impressed by his talent and had just been granted the rank of fifth grade, will not forget it.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chaowei and Jiang Yunyi kowtowed together.
"Okay, pass, Zhao Hai..."
Li Longji waved his dragon robe.
"yes!"
"Passing Zhao Hai..."
Not long after, Zhao Hai was led by two imperial guards to the gate of Jinluan Palace.
At this time, Zhao Hai was wearing a full-level official uniform, and he was very majestic. His temperament had changed drastically from when he was a clerk under Li Mo.
"I am here to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
After entering the palace, Zhao Hai performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
Since the announcement of the reward was passed down, he had gone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to complete all the formalities and was waiting to return to the Eastern Capital.
"Zhao Hai, let me ask you, did you write the Journey to the West Shie when you were in the Eastern Capital?"
