    ?

    In the twelfth lunar month, Ji Xu saw that his life had stabilized, so he wrote a letter to Su Xiaoya, telling Yu Rong and Liu Haohao about the imperial court's postponement of the Beijing Examination and his study in Dantu, and asked about the situation at home.

    After Su Xiaoya received the letter, she came to the prison to inform her mother of the content of Zhao Yurong's letter.

    Originally, Yurong's murder case was tried by the Chengdu government office. Liu Haohao had already taken care of everything before following Wang Shouchang to Yunnan to suppress the rebellion.  But after the judgment was handed down, the family members of the deceased refused to accept the judgment of the Lufu Yamen, and appealed to the chief envoy of the provincial government[1], and the chief envoy sent someone to arrest Yurong and put him in prison.

    ?The Prosecutor wrote a letter to Wang Shouchang, Pingzhang Zhengzheng of Sichuan Province, asking for instructions on how to handle the case.  During this period, Yu Rong had to stay in the prison and wait for the trial.

    [1] "The Peony Pavilion. Ask You What You Want" Tang Xianzu. Song

    Ask you what you want, ask you what you want;

    To die under the peony flower is to be a ghost!

    In the evening of this day, the maid Wan'er came to the prison to find Yu Rong to breastfeed with Xiao Zhao, who had just passed the "hundred days", and it happened that Ye Qi, who was prosecuted for punishment, was interrogating Yu Rong.  Wan'er and the child waited at the door of the lobby.

    A long time passed, but the trial showed no sign of ending.

    ?The weather was cold, and the child was so hungry that he would cry endlessly, no matter how Wan'er tried to coax him.

    Ye Qi, who was sitting in the lobby asking questions, asked, "Who is crying here?"

    The guard outside the door said: "He is the son of a prisoner."

    "What's the matter with a baby here?"

    "It's time for the prisoner to nurse."

    "Oh~" Ye Qi narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and said, "Thenbring the prisoner tothe Baiyu Study Room first!" Then, he shouted to the officials on both sides of the hall, "Leave the hall!"

    The yamen servant took Yu Rong out of the lobby, followed by Wan'er holding Zhao Gang.  They passed through a bush and came to a small house.  The yamen servant went to the prison for Yu Rong, Yu Rong touched his wrist, and quickly hugged the child.

    The yamen servant said to Yu Rong, "Go inside and feed her!"

    Yu Rong nodded to the yamen servant and said, "Thank you, sir."

    The two yamen servants smiled strangely at Yu Rong, and left in a hurry without saying anything.

    Yu Rong looked at the yard, the garden was full of magnolias, but in front of the hut, there was a curved white plum blossom blooming in the wind.  She looked up at the plaque on the door, it said "Bai Yu Tang".  Then she said to Wan'er, "Let's go in!"

    Wan'er casually pushed open the door of the hut, and walked in sideways.

    The inside is so simple and elegant, facing a white gauze screen with a white plum embroidered on it, and two lines of seven rhythms seem to be inscribed on the side, but behind the screen is a small living room.

    Going to the right again, there is another small room, which may be the study.

    The door is open, and both sides of the study are mahogany bookshelves filled with books; there are some calligraphy and paintings pasted on the back wall of the desk, and a guqin is placed on the table, with the fragrance of pear wood beside the pianoif it wasn’t for  Being in the prison compound, I really thought this was the embroidery room of a young lady from a scholarly family.

    Wan'er moved a small round stool from the living room and put it behind the door of the study.  Yu Rong sat down behind the door of the study, she hurriedly untied her prison clothes, and hurriedly fed the baby

    I don't know when, Ye Qi quietly entered the study.  He stretched his neck, and stared at Yu Rong's breastfeeding.

    Yu Rong turned her head suddenly, startling herself.  She quickly used the corner of her clothes to cover the exposed white meat, and immediately turned her back.

    Ye Qi also felt embarrassed, so he could only pretend to say: "I'm here to see Is the child ready to eat I have to continue to ask questions"

    Yu Rong had no choice but to hand over the child in her arms to Wan'er again.  But the child was not full at all, so he burst into tears again.

    Ye Qi smiled slightly, and said to Wan'er: "You leave the child here first, I will ask about my case, and he will eat his milk."

    Wan'er returned the child to Yu Rong, and stood by Yu Rong's side to wait.

    Ye Qi said: "This little girl has no eyesight at all. Didn't she hear that the officer wants to ask questions? You go out first and wait outside in the living room!"

    Yu Rong said to Wan'er: "Go out first! I'll call you when you're full."

    Wan'er left in a hurry.

    Seeing Wan'er leaving the study, Ye Qi stood up from the teacher's chair behind the desk, and looked at Yu Rong who was breastfeeding.  He thinks Yu Rong's breastfeeding looks very beautiful!  He stared intently at the child's mouth—as if it was him, sucking

    Yu Rong also knew that Ye DaHow could he be so presumptuous in his study?  "

    Wan'er quickly picked up the child and carried him around, not knowing where it was convenient.

    Yu Rong surrounded Wan'er and the child out of the gate of Bai Yutang.

    Notes

    [1] What are the three levels of local judicial organs in the Yuan Dynasty?

    ? Local judicial organs are divided into three levels: province, prefecture, and county.

    ?The province has set up a chief envoy to be in charge of the judiciary, and a procuratorial envoy to "in charge of the impeachment of criminal names in a province", and it is also the appellate authority for the first-instance cases in prefectures and counties.  Cases below imprisonment shall be judged on their own, and cases above exile shall be reported to the Ministry of Punishment.

    The government and county-level judicial and administrative organs are combined, and the local chief executives such as prefects and county magistrates control or personally manage judicial and trial affairs.  At the government level, cases below the punishment of staff can be sentenced, and cases above the punishment of criminals can be reported to the provincial chief envoy.  Cases with less than 80 county rods can be judged by themselves, and cases with 100 rods can be reported to the government for ruling.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
