Because it was during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, after Dali Temple arrested people, the family of Changxing Hou will be temporarily put in prison, Cui Zhen and his family will be imprisoned, and the trial will be retried after the holiday.

After all this, it was already noon.

Zhao Yanping followed Lu Taigong out of Dali Temple.

The carriage from Duke Li Guo’s mansion was parked outside the inner city gate. Duke Lu didn’t say anything to Zhao Yanping all the way and was about to get in. He turned around and asked, “I’ve been busy all morning and I’m hungry. Do you want to go back to the house and have a few drinks with me?”

Zhao Yanpingguang found the case set by the prefect of Shuntian in just over a day, and he was confident and brave and resourceful in dealing with it. Lu Taigong admired such a young man.

Zhao Yanping bowed and said, "My lord is kind, and the officials should not refuse, but the officials are entrusted by an old friend to help her find someone. Now that there is news, it is not good to let her wait for a long time."

Mr. Lu's face darkened and he snorted: "If you don't go, don't bother me if you don't have a major case in the future."

Zhao Yanping bowed his head and apologized.

Lu Taigong turned around and got on the car, about to put down the curtain. Seeing that Zhao Yanping was still standing there with his head down, without any regrets about rejecting him, Lu Taigong smiled and ordered the coachman to set off.

After the carriage walked for more than twenty steps, Zhao Yanping stood up and walked towards the bustling main street of the capital.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, more people came to eat, play and wander around the streets. After receiving several strange gazes, Zhao Yanping realized that there were a lot of mud and dust on his boots. He went to Nantang Town the day before yesterday to wear this outfit, and walked back and forth several dirt roads, describing that he must be embarrassed.

Jiangnan Water Embroidery was close to her, and Zhao Yanping turned around temporarily and returned to Lion Lane first.

"The official is finally back. How is the case investigated?" Guo Xing came to open the door and saw his master, and asked anxiously, "The third master came to see you last night. I only said that you have gone out and may not return tonight."

Zhao Yanping nodded and ordered him, "Go and carry the bucket of water and put it in my room."

Guo Xing looked up and down at the official and went to do his business.

It was hot, so Zhao Yanping wiped his body with cold water, changed into a half-old regular dress, used two bites of rice, drank half a pot of tea, and then went out again.

The official left in a hurry, as if there was still something big to do. Although Guo Xing pretended to be a little problem, he didn't dare to ask anything.

Jiangnan Shuixiu, Jiao’s business today is very good, it’s already noon, and girls coming from the suburbs are also rushing to visit their favorite shops and are not in a hurry to go to have a meal.

Mrs. Jiang and Xia Zhu were entertaining guests. Gillian sat behind the curtain in the account room to make abacus. When she didn't have to settle the accounts, Gillian frequently looked at the shop door, worried about Cui Zhen and Zhao Yanping. Zhao Yanping had a lot of prestige in Wu'an County, and those gangsters were afraid of him, but this was the capital. Looking around, Gillian would probably be afraid of him. If Zhao Yanping directly found the kidnapped nest and was besieged by someone alone, he would beat him up...

Worrying and regretting trouble him, Gillian lived like a year.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, you're here. If you don't come, the tiles on the roof of the back house should have fallen out. All the things you need are ready in advance. Mr. Zhao, go and do it quickly. The roof is high. Be careful not to fall off the ladder."

Miss Jiang was accompanying a mother and daughter to look at silk flowers. When it became dark at the door, she saw Zhao Yanping coming. Miss Jiang was thinking about it and made up a suitable excuse. Otherwise, there would be so many female guests in the shop, Mr. Zhao, a big man, went directly to the backyard, which would easily cause random guesses.

Zhao Yanping understood it, nodded, and walked straight to the account room under the voyeurism of several girls.

Gillian had heard it, and smiled generously and opened the door here for him, and told Xia Zhu: "I'll go and lead the way for Mr. Zhao, you can watch here first."

Xia Zhu came over to take over Gillian's position.

Gillian brought Zhao Yanping to the corridor behind. Seeing that he looked cold and could not see anything, Gillian couldn't help but stop first and asked anxiously: "Have you found any news?"

Zhao Yanping looked inside and said, "It is not convenient to speak here. If you go to the hall and talk, you don't have to let the maids be there."

Gillian was even more uneasy.

Chunzhu watched Xiao Mengzhao take a nap in the wing room, Dongzhu went to the backyard to rest, Qiuzhu stayed in the front yard to prevent his master from giving any instructions.

A Jiao asked her to serve tea, and the tea came up. A Jiao arranged for Qiu Zhu to guard the corridor door. That position could not only prevent anyone from breaking in from the shop without saying hello, but also see A Jiao and Zhao Yanping in the hall, avoiding the lonely man and widowed woman, and at the same time, they could not hear the conversation between the two.

"You are considering it carefully." Zhao Yanping looked at Qiu Zhu who was standing with his back to them and said to Jiao.

Gillian was not in the mood to say that, looking at him nervously and expectantly, her eyes full of worry.

Zhao Yanping thought that fortunately he found someone and did not let her down, otherwise she should be disappointed.

Lowering his voice, Zhao Yanping told Cui Zhen’s case.

Gillian was very worried when she heard it: "Cui Zhen was detained by Changxing Hou for five nights, but there is..."

Zhao Yanping understood what she meant and said, "It's good for people to live, nothing else matters. When I found her, she was very calm and she must have a good idea."

Cui Zhen was excited, but Gillian felt uncomfortable for her. The girl who was only fifteen years old was smart and beautiful. If she hadn't encountered such a thing, she would definitely marry a good family. The couple was harmonious and harmonious. Beauty was because her parents were greedy for money and sent her daughter into a wolf's den with her hands, which made the girl suffer so much grievances.

Not only Cui Zhen, but also Cui Jin, and countless embroiderers who have been bullied but dare not speak out.

"When the Dali Temple finishes the trial, can you let Cui Zhen come out?" After being sad, Gillian began to think about how to comfort Cui Zhen.

Zhao Yanping just told her that Cui Zhen’s whereabouts, and then emphasized: “This dynasty law allows parents to sell their daughters. Even if Cui Zhen is unwilling, Changxing Hou will not violate any law. Only when you insist on pursuing Cui Zhen’s crime of debt and private escape can Dali Temple conceal the prisoner for hiding the prisoner and not reporting him. Otherwise, you can at most pick up Cui Zhen out and will not punish Changxing Hou.”

Gillian frowned and said, "What do you mean is that if I cancel my complaint against Cui Zhen, Dali Temple will have no choice but to Changxing Hou?"

Zhao Yanping nodded.

Gillian clenched her handkerchief: "Then, what will happen to Cui Zhen if I insist on suing the official?"

Zhao Yanping said: "The punishment for fifty is jailed for one year, and the punishment for Changxing Hou was reduced by one level, and the punishment for twenty is jailed for half a year. But don't worry, the current Minister of Justice is a student of Lu Taigong. He will remind the yamen runners to take care of Cui Zhen secretly and ensure that the fifty board will not hurt Cui Zhen's life."

Gillian was still unwilling to give up: "The punishment for Changxing Hou is too light. He is a big man, and he is a 20-pin. He will be out after being imprisoned for half a year. Can he continue to harm the woman in the future?"

She frowned, and her hatred of the evil people looked a little cute. Zhao Yanping looked at her and said, "It's not that simple. If he was an ordinary citizen, the punishment would be so. But he is an official. In addition to being punished by the law, an official should be dismissed, demoted, or suspended from office. He also sees how the emperor judges. The emperor valued him, and may teach two lessons that the emperor would have a grudge against him, and it would be just a matter of dismissal."

After hearing this, Jiao felt much more comfortable. She had been in the capital for so long, and often heard the people praise the current emperor as a wise monarch, and his uncle was born into a bandit. The emperor also appreciated his uncle's ability to lead troops and never pursued his uncle's past events. Jiao felt that the emperor would never let Changxing Hou go lightly this time.

"By the way, you said you followed Lu Taigong into the palace to meet the saint, then have you ever seen the saint?" Jiao asked Zhao Yanping quietly: "Did you see clearly what the saint look like?"

Zhao Yanping's lips seemed to be curled down: "Look down and went in, then knelt down and kowtow. How dare the young official look at Tianyan?"

It turned out that he didn't see what the emperor looked like.

Gillian was slightly disappointed, and then asked Cui Zhen again.

Zhao Yanping said: "I have already told her that she knows what to say, but you can know this matter. Don't spread it any further. If Cui Zhen is not guilty of private escape, Changxing Hou will also be acquitted."

Gillian nodded. Cui Zhen would rather go to jail than ask her sister to take revenge. Gillian would never break Cui Zhen’s plan.

Zhao Yanping explained everything that should be explained to the case clearly. He picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea, put it down and said, "You still have to be busy with business, so I won't delay, say goodbye."

Seeing that he was leaving, Gillian realized that she had not yet thanked her.

She remembered standing up and saying to the familiar and generous back: "Master Zhao, you have helped us so much, I don't know how to thank you, in the future..."

Zhao Yanping suddenly turned around, and in the scorching sun, his figure came in, completely covering Ah Jiao.

Jiao was panicked and lowered her head and said, "What do you use to me in the future? Just open your mouth."

Zhao Yanping looked at her slender figure and whispered: "I do have something to ask you for help."

Gillian raised her head in confusion.

Zhao Yanping looked at her and said, "You can call me Mr. Zhao, but don't call me "you". You don't have to be so unfamiliar with me. Also, what I promised you before will count from beginning to end, and nothing about you is troublesome to me."

Gillian looked at the man opposite in surprise.

What did he mean that he had promised her to count from beginning to end?

What have he promised her?

The memory is still very clear. At the beginning, he promised not to touch her and to introduce her to a good family. After she expressed her feelings, he promised to take care of her for the rest of his life and would not leave her behind even if he married his wife. On the eve of his cousin's marriage, his aunt came to Zhao's house to make trouble. She apologized and said that she had caused trouble for him. That night, he was so crazy that he seemed to have changed people, and he severely warned her not to be polite to him anymore.

Gillian remembers all this.

At that time, Gillian really believed him, but in the end...

Gillian stopped this troubled familiar thought, looked at his clothes and said, "Okay, then I'm better obedient than to be respectful. If I don't be polite to you in the future, you don't have to be polite to me. Let's just talk to neighbors far away from my hometown."

The noise of the people celebrating the festival came from the street. Jiao's heart moved and said with a smile: "The ladies and girls are all in Jiangnan. Mr. Zhao went to Beijing alone. In the past two days, he has been busy with my business and hasn't eaten rice dumplings. Mr. Zhao waited. We cooked some at noon and made some of them by ourselves. I'll go to the kitchen to pack some for you and take them back to eat."

After saying that, Gillian walked away from him with a smile.

Zhao Yanping frowned and looked at her figure.

Did she understand what he meant?

After a while, Gillian walked out of the kitchen with a food box and handed it to him with a smile.
