143. The Yamen Opens (4/5)
Wang Qilin opened his eyes.
The passage was empty and dark.
There was no light shining into the darkness, it was completely black.
The fox fairy disappeared.
The mourning bird in his arms was gone too.
The entrance to the passage sealed by its magic was completely opened. Wang Qilin walked out and raised the torch, and saw Ba Miao squatting at the door of the stone chamber with his airplane ears folded.
It stuffed its head into the corner of the door, folded its hands, hugged its long tail, and shivered.
Wang Qilin picked it up and asked, "What's wrong with Ba Meow?"
Ba Miao hurriedly climbed on top of him. Not long after climbing up, she suddenly jumped out again, and then stared at him angrily.
Wang Qilin was confused: "What's wrong?"
Ba Miao sniffed and sneezed, and continued to huff: "Meow!"
Wang Qilin understood. He raised his sleeves, smelled it and said, "There's no smell at all. What did you smell? Darling, come back to daddy's arms. We are going home. Dad will hug Ba Meow to sleep when he gets home."
"
Ba Miao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then quickly climbed up and got into his arms.
Soon it burrowed out again, its fat face bulging with anger: there was a piece of bird droppings on its fur!
Wang Qilin had no choice but to coax him to wash it off. He felt sick and quickly took off his clothes.
He was still a little depressed. Originally, he wanted to confirm that the Li family raised the fox fairy and then get rid of it. Now that the fox fairy was gone and the evidence was gone, he could only run away.
With so many things happening at night, it was already early in the morning when he went to bed, so he couldn't get up in the morning.
Then he was woken up by the roar of hehehehehe from the outer door.
This was Xu Da's voice. He opened the window in a daze and shouted: "Old Xu, are you constipated again? Don't poop in the yard!"
Xu Daqi, who was swinging the mace vigorously, exploded: "Master Qi, are you sleepy? Master, I got up early to practice martial arts. The plan for the day lies in the morning. Master is working hard in martial arts in order to serve the court and protect the people!"
"
Wang Qilin moved Ba Miao away from his neck and said, "Are you sleepy? When did you..."
"Hey! Erlang is carrying the mountain!" Xu Da interrupted him and roared, his mace whirring and majestic.
A pretty and charming girl walked over with lotus steps. Her steps were extremely beautiful. She really bent her slender waist and took a slight step, showing her bright wrists in the gauze——
It was the dancing girl Mu Xi who he just got last night.
Mu Xi has excellent dancing skills, so she walks gracefully and gracefully, which is pleasing to the eye.
She came up and handed Xu Da a tea cup, and said softly: "Sir, you have been practicing for so long. Take a drink of water and take a break. Oh, Master Wang, have you gotten up too? You will be waiting later, I will prepare a rinse for you."
saliva."
Xu Da grinned stupidly, he stopped Mu Xi and said: "You prepare something for him, ah, no, you don't need to prepare it for him, our seventh master doesn't rinse his mouth. You go and have a rest, you will be busy in the morning, alas,
I felt really sad when I saw it.”
Wang Qilin asked: "Are you feeling distressed again? Go to the county medical center and see a famous doctor to check your heart. I think there must be something wrong with your heart."
Xu Da went up and closed the window for him and said, "Master Qi, please sleep a little longer."
Mu Xi covered her mouth with her sleeves and smiled softly. This action was a bit pretentious, but it was extremely natural when she performed it.
Xu Da was stunned, and Wang Qilin said: "Wipe your saliva, uncle, not only is your heart in trouble, but your brain is in trouble as well. Are you dementia?"
Rarely, Xu Da did not argue with him, but looked at Mu Xi's back in a daze.
Wang Qilin put on his official robe and came out and said, "Don't look at me, your eyes are on someone else."
Xu Da murmured: "Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the luxuriant spring pines are like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind. It is far away. Looking at it, the sun is as bright as the morning glow; looking at it, it is as bright as a flower rising from Lubo... Qiye, you don’t believe it, last night I dreamed that Yue Lao was old, and he had a thread wrapped around my body."
Wang Qilin said: "Why, do you want to knit a sweater for you?"
"roll."
Mu Xi didn't take herself seriously, and acted down-to-earth after arriving at the inn. She went to help Qiao Niang in the kitchen early in the morning.
Qiao Niang was reluctant to let her work, and Mu Xi said nonchalantly: "Sister, don't think that I am my destiny. In fact, before I was sold to Qingqiu Mansion, I had to do everything at home, including cleaning the yard and cutting pigweed. , herding cattle and sheep, going to the fields and planting rice, I'm sure I do more work than you."
After breakfast was served, Qiao Niang secretly said to Wang Qilin: "Mu Xi is a good girl. It's time for parents to have their grandson."
Black Bean, who was holding his big bowl and waiting for food, nodded solemnly.
Xu Da secretly said to him: "If your uncle marries Mu Xi, he will give you younger brothers and sisters. At that time, Heidou will no longer be our sweetheart. Heidou will go to hunt pigs and grass, herd cattle and farm. If you have something delicious you should give it to your younger siblings, and if you have something fun you should give it to your younger siblings."
Heidou's heart skipped a beat: "It's over, what should we do?"
Xu Da touched his braid and said, "As long as your uncle can't marry Mu Xi, let me marry her."
Heidou asked weakly: "Then if you marry her, won't you also give me younger brothers and sisters?"
Xu Da took a breath of cold air, why is this bastard so smart today?
Facing Heidou's suspicious gaze, he felt cruel and gritted his teeth: "No, I'm infertile and can't have children!"
Wang Qilin kicked him when he heard what he said, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop showing off your little thoughts, let's eat."
After dinner, he had something to do. He had to supervise Li Ying's trial of Li Mao's case.
Normally, the yamen opens in the afternoon to handle cases, but the matter concerned Li Mao, and the Li family could not wait until the afternoon.
It happened that the common people were accustomed to going to the court in the afternoon to watch the excitement, and there were fewer people in the morning, which made it easier to operate in secret.
But Xu Da shattered the Li family's illusions. He found a few gangsters on the street and shouted, "The county government has distributed rice." Then the people gathered at the gate of the government office.
Wang Qilin stood at the front of the crowd, leaning against the door and looking toward the courtroom.
Li Ying looked relaxed. He first convicted two theft cases with ease, and then Li Mao was escorted to court.
The main topic has begun.
Seeing Li Mao appear in the court, some people secretly clapped their hands and cheered, but some people who understood said: "It's just a formality, it's not like this has never happened before."
"That is, you expect your father to sentence your son?"
Mrs. Zhu walked out of the side room on the other side of the court, and the person escorting her was not the Yamen servant, but the housekeeper of the Li family.
Wang Qilin's heart sank.
After all, he made a mistake!
He only thought about arresting Li Mao and delivering justice, but he neglected one thing: Only conclusive evidence can convict Li Mao!
In this regard, the Li family must be very familiar with it. They deeply understand the truth: to solve a case, it is not necessary to solve the case, but also to solve the reporter.
Obviously, they found the Zhu family in advance, and I am afraid they have already taken care of the Zhu family and their son.
This made him feel a little unmotivated for a moment.
After all, he was too young, just a rookie in officialdom, to make such a low-level mistake.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Zhu appeared, Li Maomei smiled and bowed to her, and Mrs. Zhu returned the salute politely.
Wang Qilin couldn't help shouting: "Mr. Zhu's mother-in-law..."
Mrs. Zhu immediately turned back to look at him, while Li Ying slapped the tree in anger and shouted: "Who in the hall dares to disturb the court?"
Xiao Shishi pushed Wang Qilin back into the crowd and whispered: "Master Wang, don't make it difficult for our brothers."
Wang Qilin nodded silently. He could only comfort himself that he had done his best and was fully satisfied.
This is the case with many things. It’s up to people to plan things, but it’s up to God to make things happen.
