The punishment of the female imperial court

In Meng Dong's October month, the cloudy energy is clear.

In the past two or three months, only the atmosphere of being promoted to the Criminal Division today was a little stagnant. Even Yu Qiansi showed a little solemnity after receiving a call from the palace.

The days are getting shorter and shorter day by day, and even the midday sun is showing a sleepy dark color.

Yuqiansi has been standing in front of the bamboo wall since receiving the decree, with the charcoal basin just lit by someone at her feet. She took off some strings of bamboo plaques connected by silk threads on the wall, and checked them one by one.Some were torn off and thrown into the charcoal basin, and some were stacked and piled on the other side.Not long after, the bamboo wall covered with silk ropes of various colors revealed the original color of the wall.

The bright colors seem to be as clear as they have not been polished by time.

Holding the last bamboo tablet in her hand, she hesitated.

The word "Jikong" is engraved on the front of the bamboo tablet. Because of the time, the engraved words have turned white like the bamboo tablet, just like the white hair that has faded away with age.

She turned the sign, and the words originally written on the back had been wiped off by her, leaving only a little smudged ink on it.

She put the sign on top of the pot of charcoal fire, feeling the invisible heat licking her fingertips, but she still didn't throw it down, and put it in the pile of bamboo signs on the right.

Just after the end of time, Yaoguang returned to Fajintang.

"Master Si Yin, the matter is settled."

She nodded numbly: "Help me extinguish this pot of charcoal fire, and put the remaining bamboo cards in the box for me first."

Yaoguang recited the promise, but when he looked up, he saw the empty wall, and he felt a "thump" in his heart.

Mrs. Si Yin has never cleared that wall, and there are some old cases that she is interested in hanging on it all the year round, and she always likes to write and draw there in her spare time.Why did you collect everything today?
But he shouldn't be asking these questions, so he couldn't help but think of Boyi.

In the entire criminal punishment department, he is probably the only one who dares to blatantly ask Mr. Si Yin about all the abnormalities.

But for some reason, since the Ministry of War incident, Master Si Yin has given him a leave of absence. After careful calculation, he has not been to the Criminal Division for more than two months.

The days went back to the time when he had to endure the wind chattering all day long, and he still somehow missed Boyi's presence.

At least to cooperate with Boyi, he doesn't have to waste his words.There is also a tacit understanding between the two.

Thinking of this, he hesitated and said, "Master Si Yin, do you need Gao Zhi Boyi?"

"No need," Yu Qiansi had already put on a snow-colored plain cloak, and smoothed the fluff around her neck: "I have already asked someone to tell him, and we will meet there."

Hearing this, Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that they didn't have any conflicts.If Suifeng found out, he would jump up and down like a macaque who hasn't eaten fresh fruit for a long time.

Yu Qiansi went out and got on the horse, pulled the rein of the horse and walked slowly in the capital, and when he was out of the capital, he whipped the whip and started to gallop.

Not long after, I went around a country road to an unknown hill.

Even though winter is approaching, there are dense cypress trees here, and under the lazy sky, there are even some black and blue.Seen from a distance, the fine tree tops are uneven, outlining every subtle bump of the hill.

When she was halfway up the mountain, she reined in her horse, jumped off the horse, and looked at it silently and aimlessly through a gap between two trees.

After a while, she turned around and led the horse up slowly.

The section of the road that was approaching the top of the mountain suddenly turned steep, and fine beads of sweat had already oozed from the tip of her nose.

With the other free hand, she casually tore off the tether around her neck, and threw the cloak on the horse's back casually, revealing a black uniform underneath.

After walking a few more steps, the eyes suddenly opened up.

There was already a person standing in an open space surrounded by cypress trees.

Hearing the sound of the horse's elephant trunk, he turned his head and met the eyes of Yu Qiansi who was panting slightly.

That person was Boyi.

Seeing her disheveled hair around her ears and her undulating shoulders, he smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.At that moment, the gloomy sunlight suddenly exerted force, leaving white marks in the dense forest.Under the feet of the two of them, the light of the sky also casts a series of slanting clear and shallow shadows.

This open space is not completely flat, but the slope is almost negligible.

Behind Boyi, there is a tomb at the highest point of the open space. On the back of the tomb, near the cliff, there is a gap, and one can see the quiet countryside scenery stretching down the mountain.At the end of autumn, you can still vaguely see a few red maple trees in the small courtyard of a family at the foot of the mountain.

Not far from that tomb, beside Boyi, stood another new tomb.The cone-shaped sealing soil has a darker color than the open space. The soil is soft and dense, and it looks like it has just been completed.

In front of the two tombs are two stone tablets without words.

Bo Yi stepped forward to take the reins, tied Yu Qiansi's horse to his own, took off the cloak on the horse's back, and handed it to Yu Qiansi.

It was the hottest time for her right now, and she was about to refuse, when she heard him say: "It's cool on the top of the mountain, let's put it on."

She said "Oh", and then took it and put it on her back casually.

"If you have a horse but don't ride it, how can you come up?" He also made himself so embarrassed.

The two stood still in front of the new grave, Yu Qiansi looked down at the empty stele in front of him, his expression unclear.

"The murderer has no clues so far. I feel a little ashamed of him."

Ma Jian was sentenced to be executed after autumn, and was executed at [-]:[-] p.m. today.Yaoguang moved up and down, restraining Ma Jian's body.She and Boyi had agreed long ago to bury Ma Jian not far from Lin'an.

He had been guarding her all the time during his lifetime, and he was willing to rest in a place where he could see her at a glance after his death.

Lin'an had no name in this life, only a title, and Ma Jian was not allowed to inscribe his name after his death because he was charged with the felony of torturing and killing members of the royal family.Yuqiansi simply stopped worrying about the inscriptions and erected these two wordless tablets.

Boyi took out a basket of yellow and white paper money and a small jug of wine from the horse, and after a brief sacrifice, the two sat on the ground, admiring the mountain scenery in silence.

"Bo Yi, if everything is settled, come back and help me."

Just as Boyi touched the wine glass to his lips, he raised his head and swallowed the wine in the glass.The moist coolness slid down the throat all the way, but it ignited heat in the viscera.

"Okay, how can I help?"

During this time since the beginning of autumn, the whole court has been busy with the wedding of the saints, even the criminal minister is no exception. He has been assigned some trivial matters and has been in a hurry all day long. The national ceremony will be completed ten days ago. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Under Yu Qiansi's instruction, Boyi accelerated the collection of information related to that year.He is also secretly investigating and arranging these old people in the palace who have taken the phantom face.Since he promised her that he would not disturb the peace of the world, he had to make plans early.

During this period of time, there has been no news from the palace, and Duke Qi's mansion has been shut down many times.Even if she went to Duke Qi's mansion with the new prescription from Yu's family, she had never seen Wang Song before.

I have never seen a saint again.It was as if everything after the Great Court Meeting that day seemed like a dream.

Until this afternoon, when a decree came from the palace, her heart fluttered and sank.She who has always been indifferent also felt a little more nervous as if she was facing an enemy.

"There is something missing in the empress's palace, please ask me to enter the palace to investigate."

The empress was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang.This is also the first time since the founding of Dasheng that a daughter from a family with five surnames has been married into the palace as a queen since the previous dynasty.Even the Jiangnan Yu family, who made great achievements for the founding of Dasheng, is just a small family in front of them.

And this marriage was facilitated by Wang Song.

Since the beginning of the first emperor, it has become a fixed trend for the emperor to suppress the gentry and promote the poor.The battle to protect the country ten years ago even damaged the backbone of many gentry clans, resulting in many big clans still being weak and unable to become successful.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Lin family of Duke Qi's government forced all the clans to disperse with their own efforts, and the power of the big families was reduced by another wave.

And this time the Zheng family bowed their heads to the royal family, which was a signal.

Today's Dasheng emperor is no longer the existence that needs to bow his head to the gentry in the past.

And these, Bo Yi knew, Yu Qiansi didn't like it, I'm afraid she didn't even know the queen's surname very well.

That day in the Yuchen Palace, the successive calculations were like a flash in the pan, or like his hallucination.Since then, Yuqiansi has returned to the Yu Luocha who is tired of the affairs of the court and devotes herself to the mystery case.

He remembered that he had heard mysterious rumors related to the four major families when he was in the Feng family.

The foster father mentioned that when Dasheng established the country, everyone thought that the four major families would bear the brunt of the ranks of the noble clans and fight against those powerful clans together with Emperor Gaozu.But perhaps it was because what they did was all low-level quack tricks in the eyes of the gentry, so they were abandoned by Emperor Gaozu, and finally retired in loneliness.

Some people also said that Gao Zu was worried that they would become a new force, so he had to beware of them.

But it is undeniable that over the years, the prestige of the four major families among the people has gradually surpassed that of the major noble families.It is precisely because they hide among the people and keep their promises never to participate in government affairs, but rumors of being kind to the people spread everywhere, which instead makes the face of these rich and stinking gangsters feel ashamed.

What was it that made her go to Beijing alone to take risks and deal with the political affairs of the court.What happened to her?
Yuqiansi couldn't wait for a long time for a response, so she cast a puzzled look at him.

Only then did Boyi come back to his senses, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Presumably, the queen's will was also for the convenience of their entry into the palace.

It appears that this is about to begin.No matter what the way ahead, no matter what she took the risk of entering the game, this time, it was he who would protect her.

His black eyes were as firm as the emerald mountains and the green pines, and he tentatively asked: "Since we are all going to die together, can I call you Ah Si?"

When she cast a puzzled look, he turned his head uneasily here, his side face was stiff, showing a rare embarrassment.

Yu Qiansi thought that he was struggling with this after waiting for so long, and was a little dumbfounded.

It's just a code name, why is he so cautious?
