Chapter 40 The Queen Mother gave a game of dead chess


"I'm going to punish the butcher strictly, but I think it's too cruel for the little girl.

Let's not punish it harshly.

The grain seller died unjustly.

The Ai family and the ministers are in a dilemma.

Dear wife, can you help the Ai family think of a solution?"

The best of both worlds” The majestic Queen Mother actually lowered her body and said such words to her in public.

Agree, Dingchu doesn't know what kind of trap the Queen Mother will set for her, don't agree, she will not give Dou face in public, and Dou can send her back to Bian Liang in the name of unfilial piety.

After thinking for a while, Dingchu raised his head slightly and bravely met the Queen Mother's two sharp but deep black eyes.

She finally understood that on her wedding night, she slaughtered the rooster that had paid homage to the paralyzed man on her behalf, broke down the prison door with a machete, and caught and roasted the golden rooster raised by the Queen Mother next to the prison.

After all, Dou had exhausted all her anger.

It has been accumulated in my heart, I am afraid that every stroke of it has been recorded in my heart.

Now, I have to settle the total debt with her.

A grain seller was killed by a butcher who bought grain.

The case was so simple.

No matter how pitiful the butcher's daughter was, the national law was ruthless.

If you committed a crime, you would be punished by the national law.

Of course, the butcher should be beheaded.

What's so embarrassing about this?

However, since it was Dou who summoned her to Xuanyi Hall with such great fanfare and mentioned this matter, she felt that the matter should not be so simple.

"Zhen'er's legs are disabled, and all affairs in Xiangbei have been taken care of by the Ai family alone.

Over the past few years, if the Ai family had not been assisted by Dugu's concubine, I am afraid that the Ai family would have died of exhaustion.

Xian daughter-in-law, you are my Er Fengzhen, the true concubine, should share the concerns of the Ai family with state affairs.

Although the butcher killed someone, he should be punished by the law of the country, but the law is nothing more than human feelings."

Mrs.

Dou waved his sleeves, and after a while, a man with a round face but sallow skin appeared.

The little girl came to Xuanyi Hall under the leadership of Grandma Feng.

"Little guy, come here."

Mrs.

Dou changed her face to a kind-hearted one, stretched out her arms to hug the little girl into her arms, and even kissed her on the forehead.

"Queen Mother, please don't kill my father, wuwu."

The little girl pursed her lips, rubbed her red eyes, and her shoulders kept twitching.

The girl seemed to have been crying, and her voice had a strong crying tone.

"Okay, okay, if the Ai family doesn't kill your father, little Aying will be the best behaved."

Mrs.

Dou stroked her back intimately and slowly said comforting words, "Aying is the best."

"Tell me, how will such a young child live her life without her father?

Her father is her only relative in the world."

Dingchu was not without mercy.

This child was about the same size as a clown.

The butcher who had violated the law was her only living relative.

How could she continue her life without her father?

It was indeed a cruel thing.

But, does Dou need to act like a female Bodhisattva in front of so many people?

In other words, Dou has always used this face to paralyze her opponents and win people's hearts, but today, she used this face to force Yun Dingchu to submit.

After a while, Mrs.

Dou's majestic and somewhat old voice sounded in the silent Xuanyi Hall, "The Ai family has specially ordered you to investigate this matter and come up with a perfect plan to prevent the Ai family from being in trouble and to find a good wife for the first time."

Now that the conversation has come to this point, how could she, the Princess of Beixiang, not agree to it?

He clearly violated the national law, but because the law is nothing more than human kindness, he wanted to find an excuse to let the murderer butcher go.

And if he let the butcher go, what would be the prestige of Beixiang country in the future?

Besides, it is impossible for the family of the deceased merchant to give up like this.

This is tantamount to giving her a dead game.

Even if the chess game is dead, she has to find a way to make it alive.

Guo Jue took a step back, Dingchu bowed to the Queen Mother, took Qinglian and left with her head held high in the presence of the Dugu family's proud and proud expression.

The two women sitting on the bun looked at each other, with an indescribable smile on their face, eyes, and lips.

They were just waiting to see how the mute woman would play this dead game.

Perhaps, she will be driven out of Beixiang Kingdom because of this.

Dingchu went to the stable to choose a horse with two locks of red hair on its head.

He got on the horse's back and clamped the horse's belly with his legs.

The horse whinned.

He walked around the outskirts of the city and came back, leading the horse.

After returning to the stable, he quickly went back to the room to change clothes, and then took Qinglian into Beixiang City.

It was rumored that due to the geographical environment of Beixiang State, Snow often falls, snowstorms continue, and the grain fields have long been deserted.

She always thought that all the people in Beixiang were living without food or clothing.

However, there were crowds of vendors on the streets of Beixiang City, and they were shouting.

The sound of sales and cries could be heard all the time.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Dingchu was stunned by the prosperity of this city.

The city that everyone thought was desolate turned out to be an extremely lively and popular remote wealthy city.

Everything was a scam.

In order to set up this scam, Mr.

Dou must have spent a lot of thought, but he was waiting for Empress Dowager Su to send someone to inspect.

But now, Mr.

Dou made this scam known to her, probably because he wanted to lead her into a bigger conspiracy.

Dingchu walked on Fangbu and took Qinglian with her.

They were both women disguised as men, and they were not afraid that anyone would question her identity or cause unnecessary trouble to what they wanted to do.

After visiting all the streets in Dingchu, I saw salt shops, fruit shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, clothing shops, etc., but there was no rice and grain shop.

This was really strange.

Listening to Dou's tone in the morning, it seemed There was no shortage of food in Beixiang City.

They said they were out of food, just to paralyze Yun Qilin, the imperial envoy.

Reluctantly, she searched again along several main streets and even the winding side streets.

She only found a rice shop with a dozen bags of soybeans placed outside the door, with some beans inserted inside.

The brand refuses to sell.

In front of the door, there was a long queue of ragged people, holding a ration bag in their hands.

They were all here to buy food.

At the front of the queue was an old woman who was almost blind in her left eye.

Holding the grain bag in his palm, he trembled and begged in a very pitiful voice, "Boss Zhu, please sell me some.

My granddaughter has not eaten a bite of grain for three days and nights."

Boss Zhu, who was dressed luxuriously, sat on a round carved bench with his legs crossed.

He scratched the mustache on his lips with his hand, pointed to the sign on the rice bag, and said coldly, "Refuse to sell. " "Everyone, please go back."

A man who looked like a clerk came out and waved to everyone, "We agreed that we will only sell one bucket today.

They are all sold out.

Let's disperse."

Everyone hung their heads helplessly, sobbing and walked away with difficult steps.

Qinglian was instructed by her master, took out a piece of silver and stepped forward, raising her voice and saying, "Boss, buy a bushel of soybeans.

This silver is enough to buy you two bushels of soybeans."

The money that bought you two bushels of soybeans will now buy you one bushel, and you will make a fortune.

However, Boss Zhu glanced at the silver in the girl's hand, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be a little moved.

However, he thought of something and quickly waved his hand at her, "I won't sell it."

His attitude was so resolute that no amount of money could get his attention.

It stands to reason that every vendor does not value profit.

However, Boss Zhu's behavior was contrary to common sense.

Dingchu felt more and more that there was something fishy behind the case of the butcher hacking to death the grain vendor.

After returning home, she went to the prison and walked into the dark room.

She saw the man who was tied to the center of the pillar and his body had been beaten to pieces.

This man was about thirty years old, burly, with a noble face and cheeks.

Hu, so In the cold weather, he only wore a pair of shorts and a sleeveless horse jacket.

Under the armpits, the mandarin jacket had been torn by a whip.

Countless blood-red traces were in the center of the mandarin jacket.

The blood stained his arms.

It looked like Somewhat cruel.

Dingchu felt that Beixiang's national laws were so cruel and ruthless, and compared with modern laws, they were inhumane.

Even if he commits a capital crime, you can just behead him.

Why bother to torture his body and mind like this?

Perhaps hearing her footsteps, the man raised his drooped head, and slightly opened his lifeless eyes.

Dingchu sat down on a chair, and two strong jailers ran in in time, untied the ropes that bound the man's hands, then dragged him over, lifted one foot and put it on his calf, and there was a "dang" sound. , the tough guy knelt on one knee in front of her.

A jailer shouted in a loud voice: "This is the princess of Beixiang Palace.

She must answer all questions.

She is not allowed to cheat."

After finishing speaking, the two jailers retreated towards Yun Dingchu with a smiling face.

"Name" Qinglian opened her mouth to ask.

"Huang San Dao."

"Why did you kill grain vendor Liu Qian?"

"Princess, may I say anything?"

Huang Sandao was initially resistant, but in the eyes of the princess, which shone with wisdom, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope to clear his grievances.

Qinglian glanced at her master and said softly, "I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know."

With these words, Huang Sandao immediately expressed all the bitterness in his stomach, "Those rice and grain vendors are so wicked.

Some time ago..."
