Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 372: Obsessed with Love

In order to appease Cui Shuhua, the naked Xiao Jiang also spent a lot of money, pinching a piece of flesh on his arm: "It's so thick, the bones are not hurt at all, don't cry."

Cui Shuhua ignored her, tears welling up in her eyes as she leaned over the edge of the tub and carefully counted the bruises on her body: "Why are there so many? I can't even count them all."

Jiang Shangxian: ....

Okay, whatever happens. Her mother will probably cry when she gets home after she takes a shower.

Wu Sanniang was arrested and the crisis of the Jiang family was resolved.

Except for Jiang Shangxian, who was covered in wounds and forced to lie dead at home, the entire Jiang family returned to their original stable and orderly life.

Xia Zhenying, who had been eager to do something for three months, finally began to take action.

Her ramen stall is about to take the first step towards dominating the Chang'an catering industry!

Since they only sold ramen, braised mutton and cold dishes, and were doing business for ordinary people, they didn't need a very big place. Cui Bianxu had already bought a small shop in Changshoufang next door and had someone tidy it up, waiting for her and Jiang Wangri to set a date for the opening.

Unfortunately, three months passed in a flash, and the store that had been asked to be cleaned was already covered with dust, but the Jiang family was reluctant to go out. Therefore, as soon as they were able to go out, the two of them immediately went with Old Lady Xia to clean the store and buy old tables and chairs.

Old Lady Xia and Jiang's mother each paid half of the money for buying the shop and forced the money to be given to Cui Bianxu. One thing is one thing, and this advantage cannot be taken advantage of.

This time, Xiao Jiang was quite happy lying there. Not only her three disciples took turns to show their filial piety, but Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua also sent people to visit her every day. Even Xiao Cui put down his work to visit her, bringing her the latest popular food and drinks in Chang'an City, or snacks made by Li Meng. In short, he never came empty-handed.

It's nice for young couples to stick together every day...

On the third day, the two of them met again by the fireplace in the main hall. A pot of rice wine was hung above the pit in the middle, and two chicken eggs were placed beside it, ready to be laid soon.

The room was filled with the sweet aroma of rice wine, and it seemed as if time was peaceful and tranquil.

Jiang Shangxian couldn't hold it in for two days and couldn't help asking, "Is the case complete?"

She really couldn't understand why he came to her every day to talk about love? Hadn't he just arrested someone and there should be a lot of things going on?

In modern times, wouldn't the uncle in the hat hold the trial overnight?

Cui Bianxu, holding a bright yellow orange in his hand, carefully peeled it for her. He didn't answer directly, but instead talked about something seemingly unrelated: "Recently, there have been a lot more food vendors near the Dali Temple Prison."

"Well..."

A food vendor? Suddenly appeared?

Jiang Shangxian's mouth was bulging with juicy orange flesh. He almost burst the juice when he opened his mouth. He urgently managed his personal image and swallowed the orange forcefully. The dog asked furtively, "Is it the King of Wei or the Crown Prince?"

With such courage, only these two would be able to escape. They probably wouldn't dare to jailbreak, but it is possible that they could kill someone in prison.

"I don't know."

Cui Bianxu shook his head: "The trial will be held every five days, the day after tomorrow at the latest..."

‘Kakaka’

Jiang Shangxian sat cross-legged, a small bamboo basket filled with sunflower seed shells she had eaten placed in the middle. "Then...if the person behind this is going to take action, it will be within the next two days."

Although Xiao Cui didn't say it explicitly, she knew a thing or two about sting enforcement.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, prisoners must be tried at least once every five days before they are put on trial. Cui Bianxu came to the Jiang family every day to report, and people outside said that he was obsessed with love and not doing his job.

Jiang Shangxian expressed his disapproval and anger at the idea of ​​being "blinded by love".

How can it not be that one is simply captivated by lust? One word makes a huge difference!

However, this also happened to send a message to the outside world. He has not yet interrogated the person he has arrested, so if he wants to silence him, he should hurry up!

"What will you do if the person behind this really takes action?" She asked this question with some guilt and trepidation.

An official who pleads for the people of the world, redresses unjust, false and wrong cases, and brings peace and prosperity to the world is naturally a good official, a great official.

But this job is not so easy. Looking through history books, there are actually quite a few people who want to be good officials who speak up for the people. However, such honest officials usually don’t end up well, and their families also have a hard time.

Cui Bianxu paused what he was doing, staring at the top of her head in a daze for a long time, a wry smile on his face: "It can't be helped."

This incident scared Cui Shuhua terribly. After finding out the whole story, both of them were filled with fear and felt that the position in the Dali Temple was not an easy one to sit in.

It is clearly about catching bad guys, but their families will also be retaliated against.

Cui Shuhua advised him countless times, and the conclusion was that one should always consider his family when doing things. What if he had children in the future and the murderer attacked the children?

Hearing the helplessness in his words, Jiang Shangxian looked up at Xiao Cui's face and felt his heart tighten in an instant.

It was the first time she saw desolation on her own Xiao Cui's face.

This discovery left her somewhat bewildered.

She really wanted to say that no matter which of the two was causing trouble, they wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble. In a few years, both would be finished, so there was no need to rush. But she couldn't say that.

Cherishing life and feeling sorry for Xiao Cui, Jiang Shangxian was frugal and gave him half of the small plate of sunflower seeds he had peeled, saying carefully, "Whose child is it, I should feel sorry for him..."

If a prince was really pulled out of the water, there is no need to say what Li Shimin would do. He is a protective person. Even if Wei Zheng stood up to speak, Erfeng was a crybaby. He cried and said that he wanted to save his son. What could the court officials do?

Can you force him to kill his own children?

Please, those two were about to inherit their father's business, but Li Shimin was reluctant to kill them!

And whether he was killed or not, Cui Bianxu would definitely be severely punished by Li Shimin. After the promulgation of "Clan Records", old clan forces like the Qinghe Cui clan had declined and been reduced to the third rank.

The centralized political system was so consolidated in the Tang Dynasty that the Cui family now wanted stability. If Cui Bianxu was not afraid of death and directly confronted the royal family, he would definitely suffer a heavy loss if he did not die.

How does the song go: I am willing to suffer a little bit with you along the way~

Xiao Jiang can only suffer a little bit. Too much suffering is absolutely not acceptable. If those slightly plump girls suffer too much, they will become thin, and if they become thin, they will be kicked out of the slightly plump team!

There was no need to say too much between the two of them now, as the other party would be able to understand. Cui Bianxu heard the unspoken meaning in Jiang Shangxian's words, and after a brief thought, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Even if they find out, it will only end with me."

There is no need to put it in the open, just make that person lose his troops in secret. The most important thing is that he knows who is doing these unspeakable things in the dark.

As long as he knows, he will have a chance to return it in the court.

Cui Yi will definitely take revenge for this time.
