Chapter 219 Good Luck (Three Updates)
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky was covered with overcast clouds, and the layers of black clouds covered the sky darkly, as if night had come early.
"Boom!"
There were bursts of deafening thunder in the sky, and the howling wind swept up, rolling up the dust and leaves on the ground, and the wine banners were blown by the wind.
The people on the street below were stunned by this scene, and shouted in panic: "There's thunder."
"Why is there thunder in this winter!"
"How big is the wind!"
“…”
Noisy shouts came one after another.
In the elegant seat, the middle-aged man with white face and no beard was stunned, and he couldn't help thinking of a saying: Thunder and snow in winter.
The phrase means that thunder in winter is a harbinger of blizzard.
As if verifying his idea, snowflakes like goose feathers soon fluttered in the sky, one after another, a vast expanse of white.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind rolled snowflakes into the window, splashed on the table, and a few fell into the wine glass.
"This..." Chu You looked at Gu Yunchang in surprise, his eyes widened slightly.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it, that day had changed just because of a word from Meng'er.
Even Gu Yunxiang himself was a little surprised, but he returned to normal immediately, smiling sweetly, as if thousands of trees and thousands of pears were in full bloom, and the spring was blooming.
"My luck has always been good." Gu Yunchang said confidently, with bright eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, her luck has been very good, and it can be said that her wishes come true.
"嫆'er!" Chu You turned his hand and grabbed Gu Yunchang's slender wrist, pulled her over suddenly, and let her sit on his lap.
Gu Yunchang was taken aback by his sudden action and let out a low cry.
She wanted to say that there were still people, but when she looked up, she found that the middle-aged man with a white face and no beard had long since retired, and even helped them close the door of the private seat.
Chu You put his arms around Gu Yunxian's slender waist and shackled tightly, making her back against his thick chest, and the two of them pressed each other's body temperature through the fabric.
"You are really the lucky star of this king." Chu You lowered his head and whispered his thin lips to Gu Yuncong's ear, the hot breath blowing on her white jade earlobe.
Chu You really thinks so.
Eight years ago, he was in danger in Yangzhou, and it was she who saved him.
She is his lucky star!
The only person she saw in her eyes was him, which was the case eight years ago and is still the same now.
"Call--, call--"
In a short while, the snow outside the window was getting heavier and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, as if it would uproot the trees on the street.
The hawkers on the street quickly closed their stalls. As for those people, they either hid in the surrounding shops or hurriedly set out on their way home. After a while, passers-by scattered like birds, and there was a lot of empty space over West Chang'an Street.
Only the wind and snow kept whistling.
Not only is it snowing on Chang'an West Street, but the whole capital is snowing. Snowflakes like goose feathers and catkins are dense like snow curtains.
"It's snowing." shouted the driver of the car.
Gu Yanfei stretched out a hand from the window and let the icy snowflakes fall on her palm.
"Tsk." Gu Yanfei watched as the snowflakes turned into transparent ice water in her palm, and with a flick of her finger, the water was wiped away.
She was not at all surprised by this sudden blizzard.
The way of heaven in this small world is so eccentric, she always holds Gu Yunchang as a precious treasure in her hand, and she can't help but suffer a little bit of grievance.
This blizzard is neither too early nor too late, and it is naturally not a mere "coincidence" at this time.
Gu Yanfei glanced in the direction of Chengtianmen, hesitated for a moment, and instructed the driver, "Return to the Hou's Mansion."
The coachman responded, waved his whip high, turned the direction of the carriage, and drove towards Yuanan Street, where the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was located.
Gu Yanfei leaned lazily in the carriage, yawned, and narrowed his apricot eyes.
She still won't go.
The rest is the matter of the court, how should the case be tried, how should the criminals be dealt with, and those intricate court relationships, unpredictable human hearts and entanglements of interests, just thinking about it makes a headache.
Gu Yanfei yawned lazily again.
Countless snowflakes were falling from the gloomy sky, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
After a while, a layer of snow-white snow had accumulated on the ground, the city towers, and the treetops. Even the people's heads and bodies were covered with a layer of snow, making them shiver from the cold.
The blizzard is overwhelming, and it seems to dye this filthy world into a flawless frost white.
The people were waiting for a verdict with all their blood, but now the snow is too heavy, and the howling wind almost suppressed the voices of the people. Many people became uneasy again, for fear that the case would never end.
Especially the scholar Zhang Min, who hugged his daughter tightly, looked at Yu Xuan and Shangqing, the head of the Yu family who was kneeling on the ground, and looked expectantly at the emperor sitting in front of a high-backed chair. .
The house attendants present naturally would not let the emperor and the eldest prince suffer from the cold. Someone had already held up a tung oil umbrella to shield the father and son from the snow.
"Cough cough cough..." The emperor's dragon body was weak, even though he put on a thick cloak with fox fur, he coughed non-stop in the cold wind, his face flushed slightly.
Zhao Rang caressed the emperor's back lightly, and wiped the temperature of the emperor's forehead. He felt that his hands were slightly hot, and he was worried: the emperor had just contracted a cold a few days ago, and it took a long time to take care of it.
If the trial continues, the emperor's dragon body will definitely suffer from cold, and the result will be a serious illness, even life-threatening.
Looking around at the twinkling eyes, Chu Yi, who had been standing silently for a long time, suddenly moved, and bowed gracefully to the emperor: "Father, why don't the sons and ministers interrogate the emperor?"
When he made a bow, his wide snow-white cuffs hung down and fluttered like a butterfly in the cold wind, making him look like a fairy.
"Cough..." The emperor lowered his head and coughed twice. When he raised his head to look at Chu Yi, there was a slight smile in his cloudy eyes.
The emperor wished that his son would help him in the trial, and if he could, he would only wish to abdicate now and become the supreme emperor.
After a little relaxation, the emperor turned to the common people who were waiting in the wind and snow, raised his finger and pointed at Chu Yi seriously: "This is my eldest prince, and he will try this case on my behalf, just like I tried it in person. ."
The emperor's voice was hoarse and low, and it was blown away in the cold wind, but it was repeated aloud by the inner servant before it was introduced to the ears of the common people.
The people agreed and shouted in unison: "Please let His Highness the First Prince be the master!"
They have all seen with their own eyes that this handsome eldest prince is very considerate to the eldest princess, the eldest prince. When the emperor personally tried, the eldest prince was also sorting out clues and making suggestions. The thinking is clear, and it is fair and impartial, which makes people feel convincing. .
Emperor loves his people like his son. He clearly cares about ordinary people like them. He is a rare benevolent ruler!
The people all looked at the emperor and Chu Yi with a look of reverence on their faces.
The emperor looked at this scene and felt relieved. He gave Chu Yi a few words and left Chengtianmen, surrounded by the servants and the Imperial Army.
The burning eyes of the people all turned to Chu Yi, eagerly rubbing their hands and waiting.
I didn't want to, Chu Yi didn't rush to continue the trial, but first sent people cups of hot **** tea and a handful of tung oil umbrellas.
The hot **** tea was served, and there was a tung oil umbrella to block the snow. All the people present were extraordinarily well-placed. They felt that their whole body was warmed up, and I felt that this eldest prince really loved the people like an emperor.
In the scent of **** tea, Chu Yi only asked Yu Xuan and Shangqing: "Do you two have anything to say?"
These two really have something to say, you are arguing with me for the land, and you are shirking the responsibility by going over and over again.
In fact, the case has already been tried in seven, seven, eight, eight, and no matter how they shirk each other, it is only the difference between the principal and the accomplice. The evidence of the crimes committed by the two is conclusive, and no one has forced them.
Chu Yi interrupted them without listening to a few words, and directly convicted:
"You two murdered the eldest princess, kidnapped innocent children, did not hesitate to use 200 people's lives to borrow luck for your Yu family, and even intended to blame the emperor. The evidence is conclusive. Conspiracy and complicity are all capital crimes."
"Execution after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"
"The rest of the Yu clan will be convicted again by the tribunal."
"Jin Yiwei went to Yuzhou to get people and escorted them to the capital for interrogation."
The first item in front of them is enough to make the people present happy, their eyes lit up and they look happy.
"His Royal Highness the First Prince is wise!"
I don't know who was the first to shout out hoarse.
Immediately afterwards, others also shouted: "His Royal Highness, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The countless shouts were neatly overlapped into a single voice, with an astonishing momentum. It seemed that even the densely packed blizzard was shaken a little by the shouts of one heart.
Jing Zhaoyin on the side has been standing for more than an hour, and when he heard this shouting Chitose, his brows were furrowed.
Under the ravages of the blizzard, his face was pale and his whole body was cold, but he still maintained the dignity of the aristocratic family, with his back straight and standing like a pine tree.
After the emperor announced him, he ignored him until he left, and didn't even look at him, as if he had completely forgotten about him.
It seems that the emperor and the eldest prince dare not touch him.
is just for the sake of the people's hearts, and he was announced as a pretense.
Jing Zhaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that was hanging in the air finally fell into place at this moment.
Yes, the emperor has already moved the Yu family, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to provoke the family, and will not dare to provoke trouble again and expand the war to other families.
Thinking of the emperor's soft temperament, Jing Zhaoyin sneered inwardly, with a proud look on his face, he straightened his sleeves and brushed off the snow on them.
A few strands of cold wind got into his neckline, making him shiver and feel unhappy in his heart.
Today's incident is really absurd. In order to cause trouble for a few untouchables, he was inexplicably announced here.
When he goes back, he will definitely impeach the eldest prince, in order to straighten the character of their aristocratic family, and also prevent the emperor and his son from taking an inch.
