Little Xiucai's Flowery Love History

When Mu Qi received the news, he regretted wanting to slap himself, why didn't he follow him, and let him get into trouble.At that time, there was no news of Hu Lin's death, but now seeing Hu Lin lying upright on the ground, Mu Qi felt cold.

Hu Lin is the adopted son of the eunuch Wang Zhi, and he can't afford this relationship. Not only Tao Linghua's life is in danger, but even himself and County Magistrate Wu may be implicated.

what to do?Mu Qi's eyes rolled quickly, but it was difficult to find a solution for both.

County magistrate Wu came soon.Also startled.I'm afraid no one will be able to take responsibility for this matter, and no one will be able to run away.

Looking at Tao Linghua, who was lying on the ground drowsy, tied into rice dumplings and covered in blood, he could only sigh, what a pity for a studious boy.

The eldest sister of the Tao family waited for two days without seeing her brother come back, so she anxiously asked people everywhere, and only after two days did she learn from the people sent by Mu Qi that her brother had killed someone.

She anxiously wanted to ask Mu Qi, after all, she had known him since she was a child, but now that he is an official of the imperial court, as a commoner, she really has nowhere to ask to see him.Fortunately, Mu Qi still cared about Tao Linghua. He was afraid that his sister would be worried, so he sent someone to deliver a letter, and also sent food and rice, telling her that everything was up to him.

Tao Linghe didn't know that his good-tempered younger brother didn't even dare to kill a chicken, so why did he kill a person?Puzzled, and unable to find his younger brother, he was so anxious that he fell ill in bed.

Thanks to the fact that Chuxin next door hired a relative from the countryside to take care of him, otherwise I don't know if I would starve to death in bed.

It was not Tao Linghe who was anxious, Mu Qi was even more anxious than her. This matter was related to his own fortune, Tao Linghua's life, and Master Wu's official status.

First order people to go to the prison to treat Tao Linghua's wounds, and the next step is to find a way to reduce the consequences.As long as he can keep his own Wusha and Tao Linghua's life, we'll talk about it later.

Magistrate Wu also wanted to protect Tao Linghua, but the power was too small to protect himself, and he couldn't think of any good way.

Mu Qi thought hard, and after he didn't sleep all night, he got up early and discussed with Master Wu for an hour, and then went out with a few people and rushed straight to the capital.Let Master Wu hold down Hu Lin's entourage here first, and secretly arrange for him to rush to the capital to bring a villain to file a complaint first.

As for Tao Linghua, a servant was left to take care of it first. As long as the person survived and the green hills remained, there would always be firewood for burning.

Tao Linghua was in a coma for three days before waking up. Many wounds on his body were bandaged, and he didn't suffer too much. At least he was given a single cell. Although it still smelled bad, but all cells are like this, there is nothing to complain about. of.

Suddenly.

Tao Linghua didn't know that he would kill.

But from the moment he knew that he had stabbed Hu Lin to death, he knew that his life was over.

It's only been 16 years since I was a human being, and my father's last wish has not been fulfilled. Because he likes Mu Qi, he cut off the idea of ​​getting married. He didn't leave it to the Tao family.

These can be ignored, but the one I can't let go of is my sister.

If she dies, she will be settled. How can she survive in this world as a weak woman?

Tao Linghua was lying in a dark prison cell with moldy straw under his body.My whole body hurts, but because of the pain, I haven't slept since I woke up. It seems that it has been a long time. I heard the sound of eating outside, and I didn't move.After a while, I suddenly heard someone calling softly: "Xiaohua! Xiaohua"

Save the letter!

Tao Linghua's mind immediately flashed like lightning, as if he saw a life-saving straw.

He forced his sick body to crawl towards the door, and with a smile that made people more sad than crying, he asked, "Brother Chu, why are you here? Where's my eldest sister?"

"She..." Chu Xin hesitated for a moment before replying, "She has caught a cold these two days, and I have invited relatives from the countryside to take care of her. She is fine, don't worry. Are you okay?"

Tao Linghua nodded.

Chu Xin asked again: "What's going on? How could you kill someone?"

"It's hard to say, the matter has come to this point, and I have nothing to say. It's just a matter of life."

Chu Xin burst into tears, "Let's go and beg Master Wu, he has always been a fair and honest official, and he will not wrong anyone."

Tao Linghua looked haggard, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's fine not to talk about it. Brother Chu, I have something to ask you."

"You said."

"I'm dying, and I don't have much hope. The only one I can't let go is my elder sister. I hope you can take good care of her for the sake of your neighbor."

"Don't worry about this, you should." While wiping tears, Chu Xin put a basket in his hand on the ground, took out the contents one by one, and stuffed them into the fence.There is food and clothing.Probably not all of them were prepared by the elder sister of the Tao family.

When Tao Linghua saw something, his heart was cut like a knife, and he asked Chu Xin pretending to be calm: "Brother Chu, I have one thing to say, that is, it is a little rude."

"Is there anything you can't say? We are not outsiders."

"Why have you never been married?"

"I..." Chu Xin paused.

"Do you like my sister? It's just the two of us here, don't hesitate, just say if you like it, and I don't blame you if you don't."

"This..." Chu Xin hesitated.

"Nod if you like it, shake your head if you don't like it, it's nothing. I don't have much time, I want to find a home for my sister. If you don't want to, just help me and find her a home. Don't ask for wealth, just Just ask someone to help you live, and I'll be relieved." Tao Linghua was so anxious that he didn't choose what to say.

"I, you are scholars, I am not worthy..."

Tao Linghua smiled wryly, "So what about a scholar family? Isn't it like this? Besides, my sister has worked so hard because my family is a scholar family. If you don't dislike her, just marry her, and I will feel relieved."

Tao Linghua kept a close eye on Chuxin, and only Chuxin was the most reliable and worthy of entrustment for the present plan. As long as he wanted, his sister could persuade him.Only when my sister is depended on for life can I close my eyes.

"It's just...your sister, can you see me?" Chu Xinren was so honest that his face was flushed red.

"Just tell me what I said when you go back and let her marry you."

"This, this, how can I speak?"

Tao Linghua wanted to laugh a little, honestly, "Didn't you hire a relative's aunt? Ask her to talk, just say what I say, don't care about money or gifts, as long as it makes me feel at ease. If she agrees, you Just ask the media to write a marriage letter, and I will sign it."

"This..." Chu Xin wanted to say something more.

Tao Linghua became anxious, "Aren't you unwilling? Just say so if you don't want to. We are good neighbors, what can't we say in the open? I'm not forcing you!"

"Ah, no, no, I'll talk about it!" Chu Xin fled as if fleeing.

Tao Linghua heaved a sigh of relief, leaned his back against the wooden railing, and slid down.

Three days later, Mr. Wu opened the court for interrogation.

Tao Linghua knew that he was sure to die, so he didn't delay the confession, and happily charged him.

But at this time the whole county suddenly clamored, saying that Hu Lin relied on his power to bully scholars, and if Tao Linghua was sentenced to death, the scholars in He County would not accept it.

Two days later, the petition documents were handed over to Mr. Wu.The scholars believed that after Hu Lin arrived in the county, he extorted property and beauty, officials bullied the people, insulted the students, insulted the gentlemen, committed the crime first, and sentenced Tao Linghua to death, which could not convince everyone.

This is what Mr. Wu was waiting for, so of course he didn't dare to neglect, he wrote down the whole thing and reported it, and attached it was a ten-thousand-character letter from a student in the county.

At this moment, in Beijing, Mu Qi is also running non-stop.

He first went to his father-in-law Shangshu Yu Qiu to plead guilty.

When Yu Qiu heard this, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly discussed with his son-in-law in the inner hall for half the night.If this matter is not handled properly, not only will the son-in-law be dismissed from office, but even his own wife will be implicated.

Yu Qiu has always been more slippery than Loach, and never offends others, so he is very popular and has a good relationship with Wang Zhi.Only this time it was his godson who died.This is not easy.

Mr. Yu walked around the room with his beard, but even a few of the beards were pulled off and he didn't find it. The blue bricks in the ground almost stepped on a hole.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "I've heard that this Hu Lin is just a rich man in the capital. He was recognized as his adopted son because he paid 1 taels of silver to Duke Wang. If he doesn't care about this adopted son very much, we may Help."

Mu Qi knew this information a long time ago, but he didn't change his expression, and asked: "Then father-in-law, look, can you save this Tao Sheng's life?"

"You care about his life? It's just your teacher Kai Meng's son. Could it be that you don't even care about your gauze hat because of him?" Yu Qiu rolled her eyes in disdain.

Mu Qi smiled respectfully and said: "That's not true, it's just that Tao Sheng has a very good reputation in the county, and all the students in He County pleaded for his life. You also know that although scholars don't have great skills, they are born with the ability to spread rumors. This Tao Sheng Ruoming lost his life through the canonical punishment. The scholars have to say that I brought people to bully the people and officials to protect each other, and that Hu Lin was indeed killed because he molested Tao Sheng. It's quiet, the students have to put this account on the son-in-law, isn't it a scapegoat? There will be no peace in the future. If he can spare his life, even if he is exiled, we can get out of this quagmire .”

Yu Qiu blinked and became suspicious for a moment, but what the son-in-law said was very reasonable. At this time, Jingzhong hadn't received any news. Eunuch Wang had just returned from the Beidi Supervising Army, so it should be useful to flatter and intercede. Even if he couldn't save Tao Sheng, he could still keep his official position as son-in-law.

After thinking about it, he immediately decided: "Tomorrow I will take you to see Mr. Wang. Whether it can be done or not depends on our luck."
