Chapter 256: An Eventful Season
The person who beat the drum was called Wu Tian, a native of Huyang, who was originally a small landlord, but later the land was forcibly bought, and the whole family became tenant farmers.
The problem is that his main family is the one who forcibly buys his family's land, the land rent is high, the miscellaneous labor is heavy, and he is often beaten and scolded, Wu Tianxun thinks that he can't live like this for a long time, it is better to take his family away, and he can still earn a little life.
Unexpectedly, someone leaked the news, and when he left overnight, he was blocked, Wu Tian was thrown into prison on a fabricated charge, tortured, and finally released with a breath, his son was broken leg, crippled for life, daughter and daughter-in-law were arrested for fun, unbearable humiliation, one threw himself into a well, one hit a pillar, the daughter-in-law was reluctant to sell her grandson, pawned herself to take money to treat her son's leg, Wu Tian went home, and saw such a scene, the crippled and decadent son, the crying blind old mother, and the grandson who sat on the ground and didn't know anything, black and thinγ
The great misfortune did not crush Wu Tian, but made him feel a sense of ambition, he wanted revenge, and he wanted to let the culprit who ruined his family get the retribution he deserved.
He had the heart to go to Beijing to file a complaint.
What if the main family is the queen's mother's brother, or if he is the lackey of the Hou Ye, shouldn't the queen talk about the royal law? Everyone says that the saint is a wise monarch today, and he must enter Beijing and seek justice for his family.
The worst result that Wu Tian came to Beijing to think about was that if there was no way to ask for help, he would crash to death in front of the palace gate, so that the world would know his grievances, but he met a kind-hearted person on the way, and he also went to Beijing to complain, and he was clear about which yamen to sue and what makeup, "Some people want to sue high-ranking officials, and it is useless to go to sue anywhere, and the yamen took the pleading, and in a blink of an eye, it was sent to the desk of the person to be sued, and then the complainant was solved." β
"Then no one can sue those big officials?"
"Then it depends on whether you are reluctant or not, if you go to sue the emperor and let Your Majesty know, then no big official will be able to do it. β
Wu Tian's goal is clear, he is not afraid of death, and he has nothing to fear of a needle roller, so he went to beat the Dengwen drum with a mortal heart.
As for why he thought of going to Beijing, in order to sue the royal court, why the journey went so smoothly, he didn't think about it, he just felt that God blessed.
Waiting for Qi Zongwen to return to the palace to ask what was going on, Han Xing, who came back first to understand the situation, said, "This person who knocked on the drum and told the emperor can only be asked by His Majesty personally, and that person is now guarded by the Longcheng Army, and no one else has been allowed to approach." β
"Are the people from the Criminal Department here?" Qi Zongwen asked.
"Master Zhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is already waiting. Han Xing said. He also called Chang Shilang as well. β
Qi Zongwen snorted from his nose, "If you don't do anything serious, you just think of some crooked ways." β
Qi Zongwen went to the hall and sat down, called everyone in, and before the criminal department could say, he first said to Chang Yunchu, "How did you investigate the matter that asked you to investigate?"
"It's a long time ago, many things are ambiguous, and it will take some time. Chang Yunchu said truthfully.
"Then let's join in the fun. Qi Zongwen said, "Go back and do your thing." β
Chang Yunchu glanced at his immediate boss before giving it away.
A few large beads of sweat appeared on Lord Zhang's forehead, His Majesty has been on the throne for so long, and it is the first time he has encountered someone who has sued the emperor, it is all his dereliction of duty.
"Bring in the complainant. Qi Zongwen said, "Thanks to Aiqing's blessing, I have experienced everything." β
Master Zhang didn't dare to speak.
Wu Tian was brought into the hall, the blood stains on his body were simply cleaned up, he lowered his head, did not dare to raise his head, at first the voice was also very small, he thought simply, but when he really arrived at this splendid palace, facing the saint, the master of the world, he realized that he was afraid.
The head is as musy as mush.
"You took such a big risk to sue the royal court, and you couldn't say a word when you saw me, that's not good. Qi Zongwen said, "Can you have a paper?"
The little inner supervisor approached and reminded him, and Wu Tiancai came over in a trance, "Yes, yes, yes." It took three times to touch the paper from his chest, which was also a reminder to him that the complaint had to have a paper, and he asked a down-and-out show to write it for him.
"Please ask the saint to make decisions for the grass people. β
"The sons of the grass people, the daughters of the grass people, the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the grass people, are all so miserable that the grass people would rather die than seek justice for them. Wu Tian cried and said.
Qi Zongwen took the bloody paper, looked at it and clasped it on the table, and patted it, "How can this be reasonable, a little milk brother can do evil and evil things like this in the local area." β
"How many of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the meritorious marquis, and how many people are tyrannical and domineering in the fish and meat country. β
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the corpse was thousands of miles away.
Because of Wu Tian's lawsuit against the queen's brother for bullying, His Majesty caused a three-year strict investigation and punishment of the nepotism of the courtiers, which is the origin of the later generations called Qing Zhi, as a strong evidence of Qi Zongwen Mingjun.
At present, I can't imagine that in the future, Qi Zongwen asked the Criminal Department to investigate the truth of this matter, "If this matter is true, I will definitely give you an explanation." β
"Thank you, saints, thank you, saints. β
When Wu Tian was taken down, Qi Zongwen said to Master Zhang, "The investigation must be fast, I don't want a fake situation where you are good, I am good, everyone is good, everyone has come to me, I have to be vague, I am sorry for the trust of all the people in the world in me." β
"Wechen knows. β
When such a thing happened, Qi Zongwen was really in a bad mood, so he went to Ronghua Palace to say that he stayed in Tianqing Palace to calm down. Qin Yunyi asked people to divide all the Laba porridge, and after playing with Xiaoba until he fell asleep, he asked people to go to Tianqing Palace with another Laba porridge.
"Niangniang, people from Tianqing Palace said that Your Majesty is in a very bad mood today, since you don't come to Ronghua Palace, you don't want the bad mood to affect Niangniang, so why does Niangniang have to go over now?"
In the past, when Miao An was there, others spoke less in front of Niangniang, but Miao Ning knew that Niangniang actually didn't dislike the palace people asking her questions, but she didn't like the palace people to make their own opinions, she asked more questions, and she also knew more about Niangniang, so as to better serve Niangniang.
"Your Majesty is in a bad mood, and I want to accompany him. Qin Yunyi said, "Let Your Majesty be depressed alone, then what do you want me to do?"
"It's not a small matter. Miao Ning said, "But when I went to the Taimiao Temple to worship, there was a complaint against the emperor, and Your Majesty must be uncomfortable." β
"Since his accession to the throne, Your Majesty has been diligent in his administration, concerned about the people, loved peace, and vigorously developed his reputation. Qin Yunyi said. "Someone suing the royal court does not mean that Your Majesty is not good, it is precisely that Your Majesty is too good, and the people know that the saint will come to the saint to be the master after being wronged. β
Miao Ning smiled and said, "As soon as Niangniang said this, I understood." Sure enough, I still want my mother to accompany Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely not be depressed anymore. β
Qin Yunyi pursed her lips and smiled, today is Laba, and the size is also a festival, how can you let Your Majesty be alone.
There were not many people standing outside the door of the dormitory, only Han Xing was leaning against the door, his face was worried, and when he saw Qin Yunyi coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Niangniang." β
"How is Your Majesty?"
"I've been reading books in the temple, and when it's time to light the lamp, I don't let people in and light the lamp, so I don't know what the situation is inside. Han Xing said. "Your Majesty has been fasting for three days, and today I went to the temple on an empty stomach, and now I haven't eaten a drop of rice, and the little one is really worried. β
But the little ones didn't dare to go in.
"It's okay, I'll go in and see. Qin Yunyi said, she thought about it for a while, and didn't let Miao Ning in, let someone help her push open the door, and she went in with the end plate by herself, "You also go to the pantry to warm up, and when I want to call you, come over." β
"Mother, the light inside is weak, but be careful. Han Xing said worriedly, Qin Yunyi also took the fire fold, and prepared to light the lamp by himself later.
Qin Yunyi's skirt dragged on the ground, making a rustling sound, which was particularly obvious in the dimness, "Get out." Qi Zongwen's voice came from the depths of the tent, and it was terrifying.
"I personally boiled the porridge, doesn't Your Majesty want to taste it?" Qin Yunyi said.
She slowly found a place, and then after putting down the tray, she went to touch the candles and prepared to light them, the curtain was opened, and Qi Zongwen sat on the edge of the bed in her bedclothes, watching her light the candles.
"Why are you here to light the lamp, Han Xing?"
Han Xing was guarding the door, worried and afraid to come in, not to mention how pitiful. Qin Yunyi said. "It's so cold outside, I'll let him go to the pantry to warm up, and he will serve Your Majesty later." β
"I can't say it. Qi Zongwen said. "If you don't have a day, you have to come. β
Qin Yunyi sat over with a bowl, "Then next time Your Majesty can't say it, I'll give a special order and let me not come over." β
"If you don't come, you won't come. Qi Zongwen took the evening and asked.
"That's not for sure. Qin Yunyi said, "If you want to see Your Majesty, you will come, if you don't want to see you, you will not come." β
Qi Zongwen smiled helplessly and shook his head.
