Chapter 211 Storytelling
Passers-by saw only three and a half-year-old children, so they asked out of curiosity: “Where are the adults in their family?”
“Their parents believe in Buddhism. On that day, the elders who believed in Buddhism went to stay in a temple on the mountain.
The elders who believed in Taoism went to a Taoist temple. They heard that the Taoist temple also provided free medical treatment and medicine to the surrounding poor people.
That's all. If the rain doesn’t stop, it probably won’t happen.”
After hearing this, passers-by felt more and more that Shi Zelan would not touch other people's lives, and asked again: "Does this little lady like to run outside?"
The neighbors quickly shook their heads: "She doesn't go out much. When I went out, I also went to the teahouse and the Taoist temple."
When the six gates arrived, everyone fell silent in unison.
"Mighty." The officers lined up in two lines in the six-door lobby, and the red-robed Si Cheng moved from the back to the main hall and sat down.
The official came forward to report the situation, and Si Cheng looked at him: "Pass."
"Passed. Both parties enter the hall."
The men in black were brought into the hall. When Master Si Cheng saw the men in black who were almost filling the hall, he frowned and asked: "All of them?"
After the official nodded, Master Si Cheng picked up the gavel tree and slapped it hard: "For interrogation in the hall, you summoned me truthfully.
You gathered so many people to kidnap the young lady of the Shi family. This matter Do you recognize it? Or don’t you recognize it?”
The men in black were stunned. Originally, they were looking for an opportunity to tell the Master Si Cheng and the officials the identity of their master.
Unexpectedly, the temple chief and officials did not give them any chance and started the trial directly.
On the way, an official passed a note to Si Cheng. In full view of everyone, Si Cheng did not open the note and read it.
After the first interrogation, brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu walked outside with their neighbors.
After they walked out six doors, the neighbor's aunt whispered to the three of them: "Don't be afraid, this time they are in the wrong."
Brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu were very close He saluted the neighbors and passers-by gratefully: "With you in the capital, we can live in peace of mind."
After they entered the courtyard gate, Aunt Liu lay on the courtyard wall and whispered: "You must be careful tonight.
Do you want to go to temples and Taoist temples to avoid the limelight?"
Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Auntie, we have been traveling outside for many days, but we still have some ability to protect ourselves."
After the village chief came over to ask about the situation, he sighed: "The government has found out clearly. Well, the young lady of the Shi family has never left the courtyard in those days.
They are angry. ”
The head of the village, brothers and sisters Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu said: "You can live in peace. I will go to the government and tell the government that you can come to our street more often at night."
Brothers Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu quickly saluted the chief and said: "When our elders come back, they will definitely come to say thank you."
After hearing what the three of them said, the chief thought for a while and whispered: "Don't disturb me. Your elders, it is very easy to get into trouble on the roads outside the city.
You are outsiders, and they are locals. There are many people, so please stay away first."
Shi Xiaoliu and the others. After exchanging glances, the manager told them heart-to-heart words.
When I left, I felt relieved.
At night, when the government team came to inspect, they found people hiding in the dark, and they simply rested at the entrance of the street.
The sky was getting brighter slightly. The people from the government walked a few more steps to the corner and frowned when they saw countless footprints on the ground.
Master Si Cheng explained yesterday that he believed that the chance of Shi Zelan committing the crime was quite small.
And several neighbors testified for her that she was indeed only at the Cuju competition on the first day, and she came back with her neighbors.
The sky was getting brighter. Shi Xiaoliu carried the lantern outside the yard door and came in. When he saw the uncle next door, he smiled and saluted. The uncle nodded at Shi Xiaoliu: "Your girl has the same temperament as she appears on the outside. People in our street believe that she can't do anything evil."
Shi Xiaoliu sighed. Said: "She only found out yesterday where a man's lifeblood is.
Before this, when we mentioned to her that we should resist when something bad happened, we just asked her to step on other people's feet and poke other people's feet. Neck. "
The rain stopped, but brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu still didn't leave the city.
In the evening, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng rushed back, observed the expressions of the three of them, and asked: "When is the second court session?"
"Tomorrow.
Master Si Cheng said Sister Lan doesn’t need to go.”
“If I go, others will come to catch me. I have to see clearly who is behind the scenes.”
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng agreed. : "Go, let's go together."
The next day, when they went out to the yard, they saw their neighbors standing outside the yard.
"Xiao Lanzi, let's go together."
Shi Zelan was suddenly moved and saluted them: "Thank you for believing in me."
"You are with us After living here for so long, you are not a ostentatious person."
Six doors opened and closed again.
On this day, the Master Si Cheng sat on the main seat with a serious expression, and there were two other officials sitting on his left and right.
At noon, six doors opened, and people poured out.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan whispered: "We have to wait for the news."
Xia Yu frowned and said: "Sister Lan feels aggrieved, so there is no need to endure it all the time. "
Shi Zelan immediately understood what Xia Yu meant. Although there were officials looking after the capital, they were deep in the palace.
If they want officials to protect each other outside, they can only speak out on their own.
"Xiao Liu, let's go back and write a storybook. I think it's not enough to rely solely on the officials to be fair in this matter."
They returned to the yard, and when they entered the yard At that time, Shi Zelan said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.
This kind of disaster coming from the sky makes me feel relieved. I will write it down in a while, and Aunt will listen. Listen, what I said makes sense."
Aunt Liu listened to Shi Zelan's words and said sympathetically: "Xiao Lanzi, when will you finish writing, when will I come to listen to your grievances?"
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng entered the courtyard and heard about the plan of brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at Xia Yu: "Yu'er, you should pay more attention to this matter."
Xia Yu nodded: "Uncle, I know "
I will write so that everyone can understand what story we are telling, but not so directly that it involves us."
Xia Yu writes the story directly under the roof. After he finished writing, he showed it to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan.
Shi Xiaoliu was very angry after reading it and said: "Junior Brother Yu, yes, they really frightened Sister Lan when they came in."
After reading the story, Shi Zelan said a little shyly: "Brother Yu, I Nothing is as beautiful as yours."
Aunt Liu called several neighbors to come over and listen to the story, but Xia Yu told it a little dryly.
After hearing this, Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "Brother Xia, you wrote a good story, but you don't know how to tell it.
We understand, and we will follow your instructions. Tell the story to everyone.”
