Vol 2 Chapter 54: opening
The daughter of an official family is either noble or powerful. They also have contacts with each other. They are sisters before others, and enemies after others. From head to toe, everything compares. Today you wear pearl hairpins, tomorrow I will wear gold hairpins.
When compared to the top, it depends on who marries into the royal family.
And today, if Duanmu Qingchen could fall in love with her, she would be the Crown Princess! In the future, she will be the queen of the Lord of the Three Palaces!
But they didn't know that Emperor Cheng valued education, and he also valued the self-cultivation of women. His choice of the princess was extremely strict, and he didn't even believe his son's vision, so he had to make the decision. He believes that behind the lord of a country must be a bright queen. If you choose the wrong woman, you will definitely lose the country.
So today, even if Duanmu Qingchen took a fancy to it, it was useless.
"His Highness is the presiding judge today, and then, Fu Zuoxiang and Master Yao are the deputy judges... eh? Where is Master Yao?" Duanmu Qingchen looked at Yao Guang's seat, which was still empty.
"This Yao Guang! What a big air! He actually wants the prince to wait for him!" Fu Kun didn't miss any chance to step on Yao Guang. Yao Guang extorted 1,500 taels of pocket money from him, of course he will write down his grudge!
But Duanmu Qingchen smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, there are many girls in their family, and the girls all like to dress up" Duanmu Qingchen said, looking out the door impatiently.
Fu Kun miscalculated, he thought Duanmu Qingchen would be angry, but unexpectedly, he actually gave Yao Guang an excuse for being late. Fu Kun was scheming, but today he couldn't understand the prince's temper. He always thought that the prince and his Rui'er were friends, but today, it seems that the relationship between the prince and Yao Guang is also ambiguous.
The crowd at the door was quickly stopped by the arresters, and a path was cleared. Under the sunlight, two servants came slowly carrying a sedan chair.
The ones sitting on the chairs were the withered and sick Ma Guanqun.
When he was carried in, whether it was Duanmu Qingchen, Fu Kun, or the surrounding civil and military officials were all shocked! Why haven't we seen each other for seven days, Ma Guanqun seems to have shrunk in half?
The last time Ma Guanqun went to court was seven days ago. After that, he took sick leave and never went to court again. It was not until today that everyone saw him again. It turned out to be like this, which really surprised everyone.
How did they know what Ma Guanqun had gone through?
Ever since he went to search for the corpse with Lian Youyou that day, after seeing his son's corpse, he fainted from shock, he had nightmares every night and couldn't sleep peacefully. Even in the daytime, when he opened his eyes, it was like seeing his son's skin that had been eaten away.
The excessive fright made him unable to speak for a while. And his wife, who has been insane for a long time, only talks to those blue butterflies in Ma Yun's room every day, but she doesn't know that their son has only a human skin left.
And these seven days have passed, I'm afraid the skin is gone.
After being frightened for seven days, it is not surprising that Ma Guanqun became like this. The only force that supported him today was the public trial. He was finally able to see the murderer. He wanted to see what the murderer looked like, how vicious he was! Why on earth did he want to kill his son so cruelly!
The sedan chair was put down in the hall, and the servant took away the stick that carried the chair and stepped aside.
Ma Guanqun was on the chair, his body was as thin as an old man's, he could only breathe out but not breathe in, as if he was short of breath, he would go back to the west.
He tried his best to bow his hands to Duanmu Qingchen and saluted: "Prince, please forgive me... I am seriously ill, so I can't make a big salute..."
Duanmu Qingchen saw that he was almost out of breath, and waved his hands again and again: "Ma Shangshu, sit down, um... go and call the imperial doctor, he will be there at any time." Duanmu Qingchen was afraid that Ma Guanqun would hang up before he finished hearing the case. up.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness..." Ma Guanqun sat on the chair and thanked him very much.
"Wei—wu—" a majestic shout sounded, and Fu Mingrui entered from outside the door in a heroic manner. The people on both sides immediately applauded and applauded, which shows the popularity of Fu Mingrui in the hearts of the people.
The black gauze hat covers the bun, and the blue beads hang down the sideburns. Navy blue official robes, with dark patterns of black tigers. A white jade belt with a sword on his waist. Putting on formal clothes, Fu Mingrui became even more imposing and dashing.
Fu Mingrui strode in
In the hall, he first saw Fu Mingsu sitting in a corner. Today's case, even his eldest brother joined in the fun. When he went back that day, Fu Mingsu also had nightmares for several days, and Fu Mingrui was scolded by his sister-in-law for several days.
Fu Mingrui lifted his robe and knelt down: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up, get up." Duanmu Qingchen almost got up, "Why are we both polite? Where are you? It's getting late, let's start the trial." Duanmu Qingchen held the gavel for a long time, waiting to be photographed That crisp voice was inexplicably refreshing.
Fu Mingrui got up, looked at Yao Guangda's vacant seat in doubt, and turned around with a trace of anxiety, why the people from the Nine Gates haven't come yet?
Just as he was thinking, a crescent-colored familiar figure appeared outside the door. When Fu Mingrui saw her, his anxious heart finally let go.
Lian Youyou is wearing a crescent moon-colored long dress today, with a string of flat green and crisp jade on the lapel. The elegance is more dignified, the tight waist and sleeves are more heroic, the long hair is all coiled up, the only white jade hairpin passes through, two white hairbands hang down in the hair, and it is more fairy-like Road bone.
Like a chivalrous woman on the mountain, she is elegant and generous.
Lian Youyou was holding a small dining basket in her hand, behind her were Wanqing and Lin Tingjun. People from the Nine Gates act in a low-key manner, especially in such noisy and crowded occasions, they are even less likely to enter.
"Yuyou, Yoyo." Yao Guangda chased up, grabbed Lian Youyou who was about to enter the door, and explained again, "When you are interrogating today, you must pay attention to your words. What are you talking about? God, demon, common people I'll be scared." Yao Guangda blinked at Lian Youyou repeatedly.
Lian Youyou lifted her chin slightly, raised her lips and gave a chuckle, licked her lips, and looked at Yao Guang: "Xiao Guang, don't worry, I will use scientific methods to analyze Wanqing's modus operandi, so as not to scare the common people." Lian Youyou Yoyo winked at Yao Guang. She understood what Yao Guang meant, which was to use reasonable theories of physics, chemistry, biology, etc. to explain this very reasonable matter in front of her. It is necessary to cover up the tulle of the world.
She turned around with a flick of her sleeves, and raised her head above the bright sunlight. The crescent-colored clothes on her body were actually dyed with a layer of light gold in the sunlight, making her whole body shine like a morning star.
"Yao Guangda has arrived—" as soon as the announcement was made, Yao Guang hurried in with his official robe, said sorry to Duanmu Qingchen repeatedly, then sat on the assistant judge's seat, and smiled ambiguously at Fu Kun.
Fu Kun immediately frowned, and turned away from looking at this old enemy.
Lian Youyou was dressed in white and walked slowly, but the people on both sides fell silent for some reason.
Or the faint sunlight on her body, or the calm and leisurely demeanor on her face, or... as San Niang said, there is a charm on her body that neither men nor women can resist...
