Xiaoqing Xiaohong, what are you two shouting for? Don’t you know that Miss and Auntie are having their meal now, ah …….Wait, what did you guys just say, the official document came down?!”
Baozi little maid heard the two girls outside shouting, the first time did not react, the first reaction is that they can not let them disturb the young lady and auntie with the meal, so they lifted the curtain, took out the posture of the close big girl to educate the two shouting little girl.
But only said half a sentence, and then reacted as an afterthought, wait, they just said the Ministry of Justice official documents down?
“Miss, Auntie, the official document from the Ministry of Justice has come down.”
After the bun little maid reacted, the small hand that lifted the door curtain trembled, and then immediately turned around and reported to Li Shu and Zhu Pingan with an excited face, her excited little face flushed red, as if she had picked up a few hundred taels of silver.
Zhu Pingan had long heard the voices of the two maids shouting outside.
“Bring it, let me see.”
Zhu Pingan put down the chopsticks in his hands, wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said to the little bun maid at the door.
“No way.”
Li Shu pursed her cherry lips, smilingly looked at Zhu Pingan and shook her head, her beautiful eyes flowing, bright and beautiful.
“hy”
As soon as Zhu Pingan was surprised, out of habit, a word destined to be understood by no one came out of his mouth, but he quickly reacted and quickly added, “I mean, why?”
“Crooked? What nonsense.”
Li Shu rolled a blank, lovely white eye, her pretty nose was high and her charming and charming cherry lips lightly opened, then said, “This is not an ordinary official document, it concerns your career. You have to bathe and change your clothes first, burn incense and wash your hands before you can do so. Always have to be more respectful to the official document, it will not turn its face to you, stretching the hand does not hit the smiling face of the people. Some readers have to bathe and burn incense when they read Zhuang, Lao, Kong, and Meng, let alone an official document about you, and it’s not that bad of a time to do so.”
Bathe and change clothes, burn incense to wash hands?
Zhu Pingan sniffed, some speechless pursed his lips, the Ministry of Justice’s official documents have been issued, no matter whether you bathe or unkempt, the official documents are there, and the official documents will not change the content because of your “bathing and changing clothes, burning incense, and washing hands”.
In Zhu Pingan’s opinion, this is a bit of formalism.
Of course, Zhu Pingan knew that Li Shu meant well, and it was precisely because he cared that he cared about these formalities.
Respect was on the one hand, on the other hand, it was about psychological comfort.
It was just a matter of bathing and dressing, burning incense and washing hands, as Li Shu said, it would not take much time.
Therefore, there was no need not to fulfil Li Shu’s request.
Thus, Zhu Pingan shook his head with a smile and got up to go to the bathroom.
While Zhu Pingan was going to the bathroom to take a shower, the Zhao Hui Jing Gong Fang, which was located in the same west city as the Marquis Lin Huai Mansion, was bustling with noise, and the Bei Bing Ma Si Hutong within the Zhao Hui Jing Gong Fang was the source of the hustle and bustle.
North Military Division Hutong appeared many satchel knife holding a whistle stick of the police, and the waist of the embroidered spring sword of the jinyiwei, under the leadership of the head of the police and jinyiwei hundred, all the way jogging towards the “Jianwei General Mansion” and almost to the door, the police and the jinyiwei divided into two teams, a team to go to the main door, another pair of round to the back door.
Such a big battle, naturally attracted a lot of curious people. The bold ones followed closely behind the errand boys and the brocade guards to drop out, and the timid ones watched from afar.
North Military Division Hutong is mostly military and military families, no matter the master and servants are bold, most of them open the door, stop at the door to watch, guess the purpose of the jinyiwei and the police officer’s destination.
“Officials are working on a case, idlers shun.”
The police officers and the brocade guards shouted loudly at the entrance of the Jianwei General’s Mansion, scattering and standing apart, with expressionless faces, separating the onlookers, isolating an open space at the entrance of the Jianwei General’s Mansion, avoiding the masses from affecting the case.
“What are you guys doing? This is the mansion of Zhao Qianhu, the Commander of the Military Horse Command of the Western City Military Division, you guys are in the wrong place.”
The two armour-clad guards on duty at the entrance of General Jianwei’s residence, seeing this scene, moved out Zhao Dajing’s identity and came forward to ask. It’s just a hundred households and a constable, how dare they come to our Lord Zhao’s head.
“Take it down!”
The Brocade Guards Hundred Tenant swept a glance at them and without turning his head back, he waved his hand at the errand boys and Brocade Guards behind him and coldly spat out two words.
As soon as the Brocade Guards Hundredth Tenant’s words fell, two Brocade Guards stepped forward in response, pouncing on the two armour-clad guards with expressionless faces.
Seeing this, the two armoured guards subconsciously attempted to draw their swords, their hands only pressed on the hilts, however, the next second they saw a flash of cold light in front of them, the brocade guards’ embroidered spring swords were already on their necks, the tips of the swords were tightly pressed against their necks, not an inch more and not an inch less.
The gap is huge.
The armour-clad guard’s forehead was in a cold sweat, and he didn’t dare to move.
Soon after, an officer came forward and tied the cloaked guard’s backhand with a rope.
“What are you all adults doing, let’s have a good conversation, why do we have to hurt each other. Our Lord Zhao has admired your Lord Commander for a long time, and we also had the honour of sharing a drink with Lord 6 at Lord Yan’s residence. Your Excellencies have come at the right time, the manor below has just sent us a deer, and there are several jars of good wine in the house, so we can taste it together. Our Lord Zhao is most hospitable, and would be overjoyed if he knew that all of you are here.”
The gate of General Jianwei’s mansion opened and out walked a middle-aged man in the shape of a butler, well-dressed and with a smile on his face, he said to the Jin Yi Wei Hundred and Sheriff outside the door.
“Hehe, coincidentally, our Brocade Guards are also most hospitable.”The Brocade Guards Hundred Tenant narrowed his eyes and said with a leathery smile, “Today, we are inviting Lord Zhao to be our guest at our Imperial Prison. It’s hot, our Imperial Prison is the coolest, huh ……”
“Huh?”
At those words, the smile on the Zhao Housekeeper’s face turned into a crying face. God damn, what is the place of the Imperial Prison of the Brocade Guards, who in the world would not know, that is a place that eats people without spitting out bones, not many people who go in can come out in one piece, that is infamous ah.
“Please ……Take us to see Lord Zhao, so I can hand over the invitation to Lord Zhao myself.”
The Jinyiwei Hundred Tenant looked at the Steward of the Zhao Mansion with a smile on his face, and pulled out an official document with several large crimson seals from his pocket, and spread it out in front of him.
The document was very long, some of the content in the front could not be seen clearly, but the content in the back was seen in the eyes of the Zhao House Steward:
“Thousand household Zhao Daiying Shi received the imperial grace, do not think of serving the country and defending the people, but instead of killing the good and risking the merit in order to apply for promotion, reward, after the case of all kinds of cover-ups, switching levels, with the intention of hoodwinking the upper hearings, the crime is hard to atone for, cut the post for the people, all the copy of the family’s property, arrested on the same day into the prison, intended to be beheading, to correct the typical.”
Zhao House Steward was like a thunderbolt, instantly his face was like ashes, and cold sweat rained down on his spine.
