Chapter 23

Bursts of purple electric dragons are frightening.

"Our company made a mistake. This case can be tried." Cheng Shu turned around and left, his back was still straight and his figure was thin. "Please, gentlemen, please go to the court. I will be here later."

"Okay." Zhou Hanzhi said.Everything is ready, just waiting for Cheng Shu to go.

The son of the director of Xizhou Zhangtu Procuratorate is domineering and domineering. Twenty-five years ago, Ren Dubai's only son was beaten to death with a stick during a dispute between the two.In order to protect himself, the head of the procuratorate slandered Ren Dubai for being corrupt and wrote a notice out of nothing, and slandered Ren Dubai for molesting his bride, causing him to commit suicide in shame.Zhizhou is not innocent, and he is indeed at fault. There are hundreds of acres of plaster in Zhangtu for accepting bribes, so he is naturally coerced.The little petty official was so arrogant that he even strangled Zhizhou's lifeline.

In the past, Tanhualang was now a beggar on the street. The stigma and human life of these 25 years have weighed on Ren Du's sleepless nights. He is just a little-known local official.

Suzhengtai has been in power for a long time, and many people have forgotten the hardships of being suppressed when it was first established, and they have also forgotten the righteousness and enthusiasm.Cheng Shugang couldn't do everything right, she held a lot of power, and Qin Ronggu was also afraid of it.But Zhou Hanzhi was never someone who dared not speak, let alone the current emperor behind him.

The heavy rain mixed with Ren Dubai's bitter tears, and the grievances were washed away.

old pavilion

After more than half a month, the trial of Ren Dubai's case was completed today, and the courtiers repeatedly wrote letters, but Cheng Shu didn't say much in the court hall.

The sky was sunny and windy, Zhou Hanzhi was standing outside the courtroom looking at the sky, the sky was getting dark, and it was a sunny day at noon.

Ren Dubai called out to Cheng Shu when he turned around.

"Cheng Suzheng!"

"Brother Ren, what else do you have to say?" Cheng Shu stopped and looked at him with no expression of joy or anger, "Since I have neglected my duty, I have asked myself to be dismissed to make a good one. A group of officials have already investigated and dealt with it. I lost my life to your son, so why are you dissatisfied?" She raised her chin slightly and asked.

"Cheng Suzheng, I've been living in vain for so many years. Since I came to the capital, I didn't just want his life, nor did I want you to lose your official position." Ren Dubai said, "I just want to ask you for so long, if I don't meet Qingliu Xun Li, how many people do you think are inferior to me?"

Without waiting for Cheng Shu to answer him, Ren Dubai suddenly laughed loudly, and continued: "I ask Cheng Suzheng to answer this question to Master Zhou Hanzhi Zhou. My family is ruined, and because I obtained evidence as a thief, even if the evidence is obtained, it will leave a stain on my reputation. I'm sorry for the righteousness in the world. I was willful once, and I don't want to be imprisoned again because of stealing old age. Today's wish is over, enough!" After speaking, he unexpectedly bumped into the pillar in the hall.

"Old man Ren!" Zhou Hanzhi stood outside the hall, his pupils shrank when he saw this scene, he and Cheng Shu ran over with all their strength at the same time, only grabbing Ren Dubai's sleeve.The sound of Ren Dubai's forehead colliding with the pillar could be heard clearly.

He watched Ren Dubai commit suicide, and was so shocked that he lost his words for a moment.

Cheng Shu's face was still calm, she knelt down and covered Ren Dubai's face with the veil, the snow-colored kerchief was embroidered with Qionghua, which was instantly dyed blood red.

"Please Hanzhi take me back alone." Cheng Shu said softly, "It's never too late to mourn after death."

"Yes..." Zhou Hanzhi waved back the new tea and followed Cheng Shu.

Cheng Shu didn't go back to the residence, and walked to Qingpipa Lane at a leisurely pace, "It's been a long time since I came here."

"Cheng Su is bringing me here, there must be a cause and effect." Zhou Hanzhi looked at the stele pavilion erected by Emperor Cheng for Du Xiuming under the thick loquat tree.

"It's just quiet here." Cheng Shu took out the copper key and opened the green lock. She pushed open the heavy door and made a gesture of invitation, and Zhou Hanzhi walked in.

"Before I finish this sentence, please don't call me Cheng Suzheng for the time being. This is where you were supposed to grow up." Cheng Shu handed the copper key into his hand, "You have no ill intentions towards Rong Gu, and I will replace you for my sister." I apologize to you. When Rong Gu was 15 years old, I forgot which day, my sister went to see him, and Xiangwen was peeling Rong Gu’s fruit with a knife in his hand... After the peeling, the tip of the knife happened to be facing Rong Gu Gu, my sister saw this scene. If it weren't for you, Rong Gu probably would never have known why his mother was so cruel all of a sudden. Later, my sister was also depressed because of this...and passed away in less than a year."

"Master Cheng, I don't want to bring up the old things. So many people told me what I should do and what my grandfather should do. Why did Zhou Zhen Zhou Shangshu secretly help me when my family was in trouble? Why did everyone seldom mention me? My father? Because my father is not as famous as Du Xueshi, and it is not regrettable enough to say it-why do I always remember what the Qin family owes me. Outsiders need to be reminded again and again.”

"Hehe, Hanzhi has a good temper." Cheng Shu looked at the large swaying bamboo in front of him, and the bright hook of the last quarter moon in the dark sky seemed to grab her thoughts.After a long time, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "You are really brave, and Rong Gu is also really brave. His father didn't dare to touch me yet. Now he has only been on the throne for two years, and he is eager to get rid of Lu Lihou after he is dealt with. I am a chess piece. Without me, Suzhengtai can’t control him.”

"This matter is not aimed at Cheng Suzheng. After careful calculation, if Ren Dubai hadn't knelt in front of the Suzheng platform, this incident would have nothing to do with Cheng Suzheng, who is far away in the capital. If there is no clear follower, the people will be wronged. However, the size of the country is not enough to hold people's hearts, and there are not so many upright people from the beginning to the end. It is just a joke that there is no excessive punishment, selfless punishment, and no party flow! Since Suzhengtai and the Procuratorate have problems that even adults can hardly detect, Rong Gu just wanted to dig up the rotten place. I forced myself to stand out, but I just couldn't swallow my breath. I asked myself that I don't want to be forgotten for the rest of my life, and just be regarded as Qin Ronggu's pillow."

"You are not a pamper, you are ambitious." Cheng Shu sat in the pavilion without brushing the dust.

"When I came back from Northern Xinjiang, I made up my mind to be ambitious! I am not willing to hesitate for the rest of my life like this, nor am I willing to remain unknown for the rest of my life! Since I know what I want, I don't just talk about liking Qin Ronggu." Zhou Hanzhi's eyes were sharp and decisive. , "Chong, Longzhi, Zunye, I like this word, but I don't like the latter word."

He sat on the side, not far or close to Cheng Shu, put on his usual gentle face and continued: "Hanzhi only likes two identities, one is Lu Keli Lord Lu's disciple, and the other is Rong Gu's love. Cheng Suzheng I think I want to hold the power, how about I have the power? Kill those who have wronged me? I have no such interest. It’s just that what I have seen and heard in the five years in northern Xinjiang can’t tolerate me being so naive, and I am willing to take care of it Make a sharp blade."

"But this world will never be as peaceful as you expected. Zhou Hanzhi, I am here with you today, one is Rong Gu's aunt, thank you for your demeanor; The questioning made me speechless, but the Suzhengtai is mine, and I can only clean the door by myself! I just say this, I hope you can take care of yourself, not everyone has a temper like mine to tolerate you. I have spent most of my life All my heart and soul is in Suzhengtai, and I won’t just let it go.”

"Cheng Su just wanted to remind me? Thank you, but Hanzhi is rebellious and doesn't like to listen to people's kind words." Zhou Hanzhi stood up with sleeves, and turned to leave.

Suddenly he heard footsteps in the distance, he looked up and saw a group of people carrying lanterns, Qin Ronggu hurried over and grabbed his hand.

Cheng Shu coughed, "Rong Gu."

"Cheng Suzheng, it's getting late, why don't you go back home to rest?" Qin Ronggu didn't call Aunt Cheng Shu, "Also, why don't you make it clear that I just want to sue Cheng Suzheng, I don't just want to divide your power and withdraw your power?" This matter has nothing to do with you. Of course, your fault is not so far. I also respect you. I will never approve your letter anyway. You are still young, aren’t you? I approve you, and I will go to invite you in person On the contrary, you slap yourself in the face. Besides... Auntie, let me thank you for your tolerance, and treat Hanzhi with sincerity. But we must distinguish between public and private. If anyone threatens Hanzhi and hears about it, I will definitely, no, lighten it, and forgive me! "

Xiu Bixiao

The moon and stars are sparse, and there are almost no pedestrians on the street. The lanterns in front of the mansion have long shadows, as bright as beans, and the wefts are singing under the weeds on the fence.

"Zhou Hanzhi, you are so courageous, you dare to follow Cheng Suzheng away by yourself? When I called you, I didn't see you being so obedient, so you walked with me." Qin Ronggu took Zhou Hanzhi's hand and walked on Xuande Street , Said sarcastically: "For someone who hasn't seen you all afternoon, I thought it was another poor person who stopped you."

"Cheng Suzheng is an upright person, and he doesn't bother to do anything in secret." Zhou Hanzhi said sullenly.

"You know her better than I do?" Qin Ronggu sneered, "She arranged all the secrets around Lu Lihou. She knew my uncle's words and deeds much better than me when he was alive. My uncle is cunning and cunning. Qin Tanshu has a quick temper, and Fang Chengyan, sent by Cheng Shu, has been instigating him to kill his father! Could it be that I really have the patience and confidence? I am far behind Lu Li in Wangdu Thousands of miles away, Cheng Shu squeezed out all the people! She and Lu Lihou have no relationship or reason, so naturally she doesn't want to see Lu Lihou, and she wants to see more of my nephew. She doesn't do anything, but you still hinder others Lu, if you don’t defend yourself when you walk with her, others won’t kill you to vent your anger?!”

Even thinking about it, Qin Rong was afraid, and tightly clenched Zhou Hanzhi's hand.Zhou Hanzhi's wrist was reddened by him, and he didn't struggle, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, alas - left and right Qin Ronggu also sent someone to follow him secretly, so he was still so worried.

Qin Ronggu noticed his gaffe, and was about to apologize tactfully, but saw Zhou Hanzhi pouted and whispered something.

He listened carefully, couldn't help laughing, and quietly hugged Zhou
