Idle courtiers

Chapter 14
"Mei Chi...why is this voice so familiar." Zhou Nan couldn't help but turned around again: "Isn't that lady at the poetry meeting last night surnamed Mei? That's right, it was her voice."

Last night at the poetry meeting, Zhou Nan, in order to win prizes in exchange for housing and meals for himself and ten fellow villagers, was the first to jump out before the other scholars began to write lyrics, and directly messed up the poetry meeting with a Nalan poem, and then grabbed it. Prizes run away.

Seeing that Miss Mei ran out to meet him, it was obvious that she wanted to meet him, an amazing talent who would never come out of this world.According to the plot of the drama and the time-travel novel, Zhou Nan should stop, act gracefully, impress the heart of the beautiful young lady with his elegant conversation and extraordinary talents, embrace the beauty, and enrich his harem.

However, Zhou Nan did not take the usual path.One was that everyone was starving, it was getting late, and the pawn shop was about to close, so we had to rush over to pawn things into cash.No matter how late, I will sleep on the street tonight.The spiritual life of Pink Lady is of course needed, but you have to settle for warmth before you can think about it; moreover, if you really meet Miss Mei Er, you must report your name.The more than 20 scholars present were all from the mixed intellectual circle of Andong County, and there was no guarantee that no one would not know the former Zhou Xiucai.Zhou Nan has ghosts in his heart, how can he stay.

He came lightly, then walked lightly, waving his sleeves without taking away a cloud, seeing beauty like floating clouds, really BIG is elegant.In his heart, Zhou Nan was also secretly proud of his chicness.However, when the villagers said that the woman surnamed Mei was so beautiful that she was not human at all, and that the nine-day fairy descended to the mortal world.Zhou Nan hammered his chest and stomped his feet, his heart was bleeding, he would have stayed if he knew it earlier, showing a little hand.Even if I have Yun Niang, it is impossible to show love to other women, it is good to pretend to be a little X!
Judging from the situation last night, Ms. Mei is also a well-educated person.Wouldn't it be great if he could become my brother Nan's confidante, Hongxiu Tianxiang to study at night, national security and folk music!

"Xie Xianzun." Second Miss Mei gave a slight blessing and straightened her body.

Shi Zhixian then asked: "Miss Mei, do you know Zhou Nan from Zhoujiazhuang in the west of the city?"

"Why don't you know it? For the past ten years, the daughter of the people has wished to eat her flesh and invade her skin." The voice of Miss Mei's gnashing of teeth came from next to her ears: "Ten years ago, my brother and the thief asked the disciples of the famous teacher. The thief's family was poor. My brother treats him with a lot of class. But he didn't think that this thief didn't want to repay his kindness, so he beat his brother to death. Such a deep hatred, the daughter of the people will never forget it."

This sentence exploded Zhou Nan's head, who was in reverie.It turned out that the murder case that Zhou Xiucai was responsible for fell on Miss Mei Er's elder brother.Zhou Xiucai actually beat people to death, so mighty!

It seems that it is no longer possible to be a confidante with her. From now on, everyone will be an enemy who will go in and out with a white knife. It's a pity, a pity!
It turned out that the person Zhou Yang was looking for turned out to be Miss Mei Er.No, he said that as soon as Second Miss Mei arrives, he can prove my identity is true or false, and he doesn't know what the method is.

Shi Zhixian nodded, and asked again: "Zhou Yang, you said yesterday that you can find another person, which will prove that your brother is an impostor. Could it be that the girl Mei is looking for, how can you prove it?"

Zhou Yang kowtowed, and said: "Back to the old man, the second Miss Mei was at the scene on the day of the murder, and the cause and effect are all true. The old man might as well let this thief talk about what happened that day, is it true?" Fake, Second Miss Mei will know as soon as she hears it."

A book office interrupted: "My lord, there is a record of this case and Zhou Xiucai's monogram back then, which can be used for comparison. The younger one has already made a file, please have a look at it."

Hearing this, Zhou Nan turned pale with shock, and couldn't help taking a breath in his heart.Regardless of ancient or modern times, human life is a serious and important case, and all confessions and transcripts must be detailed. The cause, process, climax, and result of the case must be recorded in the file without any difference, accurate to every action and action of the two parties at that time. every word.Otherwise, let alone report to the Ministry of Punishment, even if sent to the provincial level for criminal prosecution, they will be directly sent back for retrial.

How did Zhou Nan know about the entire trial process and the specific circumstances of the crime.Even if he wanted to ask other people about it, ten years would be too long for others to remember.The second is how ordinary people can get access to such confidential files.

It's over, it's really over.

For a while, the words "helpless" and "sit and die" were not enough to describe Zhou Nan's depressed mood at the moment.

Shi Zhixian picked up the file: "Zhou Nan, it says that on the day of the incident, you and the son of the Mei family, the county student Meixi, were drinking and having fun in the "Taibaiju" restaurant in the city. During this period, you and Mei Xiucai had a dispute because of a sentence of scriptures, and the two sides had a fierce conflict. Among them, the sentence that caused the two of you to fight was "From the emperor to the common people, one is based on self-cultivation." You The original words of the book are, "Geiger's knowledge of things, sincerity and righteousness, are all self-cultivation skills. To manage the family, govern the country, and the world are all pushed from self-cultivation. Therefore, although there are differences in the dignity of people, they should all be self-cultivation." This is the basis, and the Son of Heaven is no exception. If the Son of Heaven loses his virtue, a gentleman of our generation should point out the mistakes directly, and not hide it for the venerable.” Next, Mei Xiucai responded with a sentence, which aroused fury, and the two sides fought Raise your hands. Alright, I will ask you, what did Meixi say next?"

I know what that shit Meixi was talking about, Zhou Nan felt bitter and cursed inwardly, the scholars in the Ming Dynasty are also straight mothers and thieves.I have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics all my life, and I don't know the four bodies and the five grains.Even if you have thoroughly studied the words of the sage, it doesn't matter if you can't stop the rolling iron hooves of Jiannu in the future, and you can't stop Li Chuang's shining sword in the future.As far as the Jiajing year is concerned, a few hundred Japanese pirates can run across several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it possible that your son said Shiyun, and you can recite the devil to death like a magic spell?

Is it meaningful for you to fight to get people's brains out of dog's brains just because of an irrelevant Kong Laoer's words?

Zhou Nan: "If you go back to your old parents, it was already ten years ago. How can Xiaomin remember?"

At this time, Miss Mei Er said: "At that time, my brother said, 'Brother Zhou's words are wrong. Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven. Father and son, if the father is wrong, we will suffer it. If the father does not listen, But dead remonstrance." Unexpectedly, the thief laughed and said, "It's all gone, what's the use. If only dead remonstrance can make the emperor follow the good example, things in the world will be simple. Brother Mei, you really Reading breaks the brain.'”

"...At that time, this thief spoke frivolously and tried his best to be sarcasm. Elder brother is also arrogant, so he immediately refuted Zhou thief's strange talk... Zhou thief was not angry, and got into a ball with my brother...Brother Lost, fell down from the stairs, and died..."

When it came to the end, Miss Mei Er broke down in tears.

Zhou Nan was flustered. Just now, during Miss Mei Er's narration, Shi Zhixian compared the file and asked Zhou Nan a few more questions. Poor him, he was naturally speechless.

Wait until Miss Mei finished talking about the past, and then wait for Shi Zhixian to finish asking.Seeing that Zhou Nan couldn't answer a word, his head was covered with cold sweat.Zhou Yang knew that the true face of this swindler was completely revealed today, and he shouted loudly: "Master Xianzun, Lord Qingtian, this thief knows nothing about the old case back then, he must be a liar, please ask the Lord to help you The common people are the masters, deal with this daring thief with the laws of the country!"

Hearing the word national law, Zhou Nan's hairs all stood on end.It is not a big crime to pretend to be someone else's identity. Even if it is exposed, it will be a big deal, and you will be sent to Liaodong again to wait for death.The serious problem is that the dead ghost Zhou Xiucai still has a wife, so he has risen to the height of occupying a widow, and he cannot escape with a decisive decision.Even Yunniang has the felony of adulterous adultery, and she is sold to others by her husband's family.Yunniang is just a weak woman, it's hard to say whether she can survive at eighty boards.

No, I can't implicate Yunniang, a man is born in this world, how can he manipulate life and death in the hands of others.

There will be a way, for sure!

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Nan suddenly had a thought in his mind: Well, if things don’t happen, they have already happened.That being the case, I will make things bigger, and the county will not be able to handle it!
"It seems that the truth has been revealed, here comes..." Shi Zhixian was about to settle the case.

Zhou Nan: "Wait a minute, old parents, Xiaomin has one more word."

Shi Jieren had a good impression of Zhou Nan, so he stopped and said, "Say it."

Zhou Nan: "Just now what Miss Mei Er said was all lies. Of course, I don't blame her. The second Miss ten years ago was only a six-year-old child. She was so frightened at the scene of the murder that she lost her mind. His confession was inaccurate."

Shi Zhixian looked displeased: "What a villain, you said that Mei's words are not accurate. Could it be that this file is also fake, and there is your signature and stamp on it. The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and you will not be allowed to mess around."

Zhou Nan: "The dossier is also fake."

"What!" Shi Zhixian's face was full of green energy, and he was about to explode.

Zhou Nan hurriedly continued: "Actually, the dispute between me and Brother Meixi back then had other secrets, but it is inconvenient to record it."

These words aroused Shi Zhixian's curiosity, and he couldn't help asking: "What is the secret, don't you talk nonsense. Human life is at stake, how could the dossier back then be faked?"

"No, no, old parents, you have misunderstood. I am not saying that the dossier is fake, but that the dispute between me and Brother Mei was another matter. For the sake of the venerable, Xiaomin concealed the truth from the county magistrate who decided the case. and the officials of the Criminal Division."

Shi Zhixian was even more surprised: "What's the matter, tell me."

Zhou Nan: "At that time, Brother Mei and I talked about that in "The Great Learning", from the emperor to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. I don't know why, so we talked about great rites. In today's world, successors to the emperor are still There was a dispute over the issue of succession to the emperor. At that time, Brother Mei said that being the heir of the emperor today is an unchanging rule of thumb. How to change it should be a deadly remonstrance. The villain didn’t think so at the time, saying that the country needs a father. , it doesn’t matter whether you are the successor or the successor. Could it be that if you are the successor now, you will be in a wrong position, and you don’t look like a king? It’s ridiculous."

"In the past, my Ming Dynasty was entangled in discussing the great ceremony for many years, and the vitality of the country was exhausted by this matter. Is it interesting? Brother Mei, it is even more absurd for you to die. A good man should leave a useful body to serve his father. Even if you You are a gentleman, you have to remonstrate to the death, and in the end, aren’t you serving Imakami?”

"As soon as Xiaomin said this, Brother Mei was furious, and he fought with his subordinates, and finally stumbled and fell downstairs...Xiaomin and Brother Mei were classmates, and his heart was also sad. I want to bring it up again. Since the old parents asked about it today, Xiaomin can only express it with a broken heart." Zhou Nan's eye circles were red, and two lines of tears were shed.

He looked at Shi Zhixian with a tragic face in tears, and he was proud: Audience, let's see what a performance at the actor's level is.

Hearing Zhou Nan's words, Shi Zhixian couldn't help but take a deep breath. There was only one thought in his mind: There are always people who want to harm this official.
