Chapter 102： receive punishment

Chapter 102 Punishment

Everyone in the garden heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a woman in silver armor leading a group of personal soldiers and two gray-haired old men walking in.

Chu Nanzhi took a closer look, the woman's steps were brisk, and she showed a majestic and heroic posture while walking. The silver gorgeous and exquisite armor wrapped her graceful figure, and her whole body exuded an innate noble temperament. , Just looking at it already makes people feel a sense of awe.

Staying closer, she looked at the two old men next to the female general, and her heart immediately relaxed like a levee releasing a flood, and a sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously: it turned out to be Lao Nie and Lao Chang.

Without waiting for her to speak, the second elder staggered over on crutches and rushed over, anxiously concerned: "My dear boy, are they making things difficult for you?"

As he spoke, Chang Yanjue half-closed his eyes, raised his eyes to look at the three eldest princesses in front of him, dissatisfaction was written on the old Shen's solemn cheeks.

"Not yet."

Chu Nanzhi supported the elder with a smile, and asked softly, "Why are the two teachers here?"

Nie Huai'an immediately replied: "It was your boss who deliberately asked your son-in-law to rush to the village hall to invite your teacher and Chang Lao to come over because he was afraid that you would be in danger."

Lin Jinxiao?

Chu Nanzhi was quite surprised.

Afterwards, Hu Maoxi and Sun Wucai immediately bowed to the two great Confucian scholars, saying: "Old Nie, old Chang."

Everyone's tense mood calmed down immediately.

Chang Yanjue pulled over the valiant female general, and introduced to Chu Nanzhi with kind eyes, "Disciple, this is the Princess Jinshu I mentioned to you for my teacher."

Both of them can be regarded as characters that women do not give up to men, and the two of them are very cordial when they meet.

Lin Jinshu took a step ahead of her, cupped his hands and called out, "Junior Sister."

Chu Nanzhi was about to answer, but she always felt that she was being taken advantage of, and she bowed her body resentfully: "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

When the three eldest princesses saw Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an, they immediately put away their previous arrogance and came to pay their respects.

After several people saluted each other, the Eldest Princess Lin Luotong held the whisk tightly, looked at Chang Yanjue respectfully, and said apologetically, "I didn't expect to alarm Chang Lao, I am really terrified, please don't ask Chang Yanjue for help." blame."

"How dare you."

Chang Yanjue leaned on a cane in one hand, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and his tone became severe again: "It has been many years since the late emperor became immortal, why are the three eldest princesses lingering here holding the late emperor's body and refusing to return to the palace?"

"Old Chang was joking."

Lin Luotong replied slowly and generously: "Father has already escaped into the Taoist sect, and my three sisters also followed his will to practice here. Worldly matters have nothing to do with us. As for the father's body, he is a member of the Taoist sect. After becoming a feather, it is natural to sit in the vat and observe according to the rules of the Taoist sect."

"Since it is Qingxiu, why did the three eldest princesses get involved in the official affairs of the county government?"

Chang Yanjue snorted expressionlessly, looked around, as if he was facing an enemy, his heart became even more oppressed, and he couldn't help but began to express his feelings: "Although the first emperor was not a king of the world, he was devoted to Taoism." , is also a lord of benevolence and righteousness who cares about the common people, how can you allow you to waste hundreds of lives for your own selfishness, if there is turmoil in the temple today, how will the princesses plan to end?"

"There is a reason for this incident, please forgive me, Mr. Chang."

Lin Luotong glanced at the depressed sisters and Priest Tanhua, and said truthfully: "The three sisters of my palace were still young when they entered the temple with their father. Let Mrs. Hu take him away with a few bewitching words from Mrs. Chu."

"Bewitching words?"

Chang Yanjue turned to Chu Nanzhi with a dignified expression, half-closed his eyes and asked in a solemn voice: "Disciple, tell me, are you trying to confuse people?"

After listening carefully for a while, seeing that the two of them finally brought the topic to the case, Chu Nanzhi glanced at Priest Tanhua, and replied bluntly: "Although the students dare not determine whether the Priest and the case of the Shen family are It is related, but it is true that he obstructed the county government officers from handling the case, intending to destroy the evidence, and harboring evil intentions."

Seeing this, Hu Maoxi hurried to the elders and Lin Jinshu and explained the ins and outs of what happened just now.

After hearing this, several people frowned, and stared at Taoist Tan Hua.

Taoist Tan Hua was so frightened that his complexion was livid, and he went straight to pull the hem of the third princess Lin Luochu's clothes in a panic.

In front of the elders and the emperor's niece, although Lin Luochu didn't dare to make mistakes like before, but he was not willing to let the county government take him away, and looked at Chu Nanzhi angrily with his mouth pursed:

"It doesn't matter whether my master is guilty or not, the county magistrate will decide, but what should the Chu family be guilty of trespassing on the royal palace? Since Jin Shu and the two elders are present, please give this princess an explanation."

Just a few words to divert the contradiction.

"The third aunt mentioned this, so my niece might as well say it directly."

Lin Jinshu arched his hands, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has issued a decree. Although the first emperor has made his debut, he is still a member of the royal family, and his bones should not be left in the wilderness. This time, I specially appointed my niece to welcome the coffin of Emperor Daxing back into the palace." If someone obstructs the burial in the mausoleum, they will be killed without mercy."

The last few words had a high-pitched tone and sharp words, which were regarded as a solemn warning, and the faces of the three eldest princesses turned pale when they heard it.

Afterwards, she added solemnly: "As for the three aunts who really don't want to return to the palace, His Majesty has also explained that this Nanhua Temple is only in a quiet place away from the court hall, after Emperor Daxing's coffin was withdrawn. On this day, the royal title was cut off, and the soldiers stationed in Nanhua Mountain escorted the coffin back to Beijing together, and returned Nanhua to see the purity and peace.”

After finishing speaking, he immediately took out the imperial decree from his bosom and respectfully handed it over to the eldest princesses.

The three of them read the imperial decree together, their expressions changed suddenly, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

Without the protection of the pro-army, there is no way for them to live a peaceful life in this temple. I am afraid that cats and dogs can step on their heads and domineering.

But back to the palace...

Thinking of this, the three of them were helpless for a while.

The Eldest Princess Lin Luotong put on a bitter face, nodded and replied: "Since it is the emperor's request, I and your two aunts must obey."

But after saying this, the three men's fierce eyes gathered on Chu Nanzhi:

This woman is simply a bastard. As soon as she came to Nanhua Temple, which was calm and peaceful, there were waves of unrest.

Lin Luochu suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Okay, even so, the folks who trespassed on private houses cannot be forgiven lightly, let alone the royal palace where the remains of the father are placed, Jinshu, you also said it, Nanhua It seems that the title was removed on the day when the coffin of the emperor was withdrawn, and now she still belongs to the royal family, so this woman must be severely punished, otherwise how will all the people be subdued in the future."

"This"

Erlao, Hu Maoxi and others could not help but frown.

The eldest princess Lin Luotong suddenly thought of the compromise method mentioned by the second younger sister just now, and took the opportunity to say: "Although Mrs. Chu made a mistake, it was for business, and I can be considerate. It's better for everyone to take a step back. Master Hu only punished you. Then Mrs. Han, I don’t want to pursue Mrs. Chu’s matter, how about it?”

"The princess was joking."

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Chu Nanzhi refuted it back righteously.

Looking at the solemn and serious face of Chang Yanjue beside him, thinking about his previous career, if this kind of favoritism and perverting the law started from himself, how could he have the face to investigate and sue for others in the future, and immediately refused: "The law is merciless. Since a woman has made a mistake, she should be punished. The Eldest Princess doesn't have to think about the woman."

Hearing this, Chang Yanjue's calm face finally showed a relieved smile.
