Chapter 18: Lawsuits
In the vast sea of people, it is difficult to find one.
However, the paper can't hold the fire, unexpectedly, the beauties around Wang Wenqing have a lot of calligraphy and painting background, and they drew a portrait of Xu Feng with their memory.
This is not over, a few days later, Si Nong Changshi came to report the case again, and Li Yancheng, who was carried into the Yamen of the Hojing Order, recognized the portrait at a glance as the beater.
The two young masters were beaten into a pig's head by one person, which undoubtedly stabbed the hornet's nest.
Ho Kyung ordered to immediately find the person who painted the portrait and promised to punish him severely.
According to the map, Ho Jing ordered the officials of the yamen to investigate in many ways, and finally found Xu Feng's whereabouts.
The arrest that was ordered to arrest people was quick but hesitated.
The deserted house in the south of the city is brand new at the moment, with vermilion lacquer red tiles and white jade steps.
In the extralegal land of Hojing, the Son of Heaven has a taboo, and he still has to arrest the suspect.
"Zhangtou, are you still arresting?" asked one of the officials.
Syllable!
Zhang Tou knocked the official on the head and said, "Are you crazy? β
"Yes, no arrests. "Another servant thinks he is clever.
Syllable!
Zhang Tou looked at the head of the official again, and said: "Don't arrest people? Where can the adults explain? Where can the young governor Shi explain? Where can the chief of the agriculture department explain." β
"Then go in and arrest someone?" asked one of the officials.
Zhang Tou kicked the official and said, "Confused, what do you mean by arresting someone? And you can't go in with open fire, and when that son comes out, you must respectfully invite him back to the yamen for questioning. β
Several yamen nodded as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they were talking again.
So, the scorching sun was scorching, and several officials waited stupidly.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Feng walked out of the house, ready to go to Situ Yu to discuss the matter of Tianji Pavilion recommending letters.
But he ran into the sweaty official head-on, and after explaining what happened, Xu Feng was both unexpected and reasonable.
With the portrait, with the power of the young governor Shi, he was looking for someone in Hojing, such as searching for things. But unexpectedly, Si Nong Changshi was also involved.
The disciple who practiced the knife had already released his words, and he spent a lot of money to find Xu Feng and wash away the shame of the sect.
Si Nong, who had been silent, suddenly chose to report the case after having a portrait, and carried the seriously injured Li Yancheng into the Yamen of the Jingling Order, and recognized the person in the portrait at a glance as the perpetrator.
There is never a coincidence in the world, and if there is, it is a conspiracy.
"What does Childe think?"
Zhang Tou cautiously tentatively, he already had a plan in his heart, if Xu Feng ignored it and left, he would still wait here.
One day, two days, three days, until Xu Feng was willing to go to the Yamen of Hojing Ling.
"In that case, please lead the way. β
In conspiracy calculations, evasion often falls into the hands of conspirators, and Xu Feng chooses to face it.
Before leaving, Xu Feng called a newcomer in the house to go to a small courtyard next to the Red Mansion to spread a message.
Zhao Qing sat on the chair of the Yamen of Ho Jingling, but he was restless, and the sweat behind his back soaked his clothes.
Under the lobby, the steward of the Young Governor's Mansion and the steward of the Chief Farmer's Mansion were talking to each other.
This housekeeper all follows the surname of the master's family, one is the Wang Steward, and the other is the Li Steward, although they are both small people, but they have won the trust of the master in both families, and they both have the right to speak
The king of Hades is good, the little ghosts are difficult, and they are all high-flying and domineering, and they are bullying people, this kind of person must not be offended.
Haojing ordered Zhao Qing, the parent official of the capital of the Son of Heaven, to be cautious and walk on thin ice in the powerful Haojing, and many things were passable, but he didn't want to receive such a case.
The young masters of the two families, Wang Wenqing and Li Yancheng, were wrapped like zongzi, one on each side.
Xu Feng entered the lobby of the yamen and saw this scene.
When Wang Wenqing and Li Yancheng saw Xu Feng, the two of them immediately let out a whining sound.
The two stewards glanced at Xu Feng at the same time, but at the same time, the two of them withdrew their gazes, and then stared at Zhao Qing together.
"Xu Feng, are you guilty?"
Under the watchful eye of the two stewards, Zhao Qing immediately shook his spirits, and came up to ask the teacher for guilt.
In Haojing, the mountain lord of the sect also has to follow the laws of the Great Zhou, and there are minor monks like Xu Feng.
So much so that he ignored the message in the officer's eyes.
Xu Feng said: "I don't understand what the adults are saying. β
Bang!
Zhao Qingyi slapped the table and said, "Don't you understand? Did the official invite you to drink tea? To tell you the truth, now that the human and material evidence is complete, you admit it, confess your accomplices, and you can deal with it as appropriate, and you don't Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·admit it."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qing snorted coldly and threw down a stack of copywriting, all of which were the confessions of the two evil slaves and Namei who were present at the time of the incident.
Xu Feng picked it up and looked at it a few times, and then threw it back on the ground, and said: "The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulates that the testimony of the plaintiff and defendant's family members, or people with interests, can only be referred to, and is not accepted. β
Zhao Qingyu, Wang Wenqing, and Li Yancheng don't speak now, but they can't move their fingers.
The proprietress of the Red Mansion is even more of a figure who cannot be provoked, a powerful figure in the court, who envied the business of the Red Mansion and wanted to take it for herself, but as a result, she lost her official position and destroyed the clan.
"My lord saw it, above the court, this little thief was still denying, and looking at the appearance of being calm, he must be a habitual offender, and he couldn't ask if he didn't move the punishment. β
Steward Li was the first to speak, but this tone was not a suggestion, but an order.
"If you move the punishment, you have to move the big punishment. β
Steward Wang was even more domineering, went up directly, took out an arrow, and had to give orders on behalf of Zhao Qing.
"Don't bother with the king's stewardship, I'll come. β
Zhao Qing was angry in his heart, who was the owner of the Haojing Lingyamen, but he still took it politely, and ordered the arrow to be executed.
It's just that a few officials looked at each other, and none of them made a move, they knew that Xu Feng was the owner of the deserted mansion in the south of the city, and he was an existence that could not be provoked.
Zhang Tou stood up and said, "My lord still records the name of this son according to the rules, and the address is not too late." β
"What's the matter? Lord Zhao didn't say anything in his yamen?" Steward Li sneered.
The steward of the king was even more domineering, and when he went up, he slapped his head and shouted: "It's your turn to speak here? β
He covered his face with his head and lowered his head, feeling aggrieved and angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Zhao Qing was surprised, suspicious, Zhang Tou is an old man of the Yamen, he is shrewd and cautious on weekdays, and he is the most slippery, but now he has chosen to be strong, there is a problem here.
"Execution!"
Steward Wang shouted again.
However, the officials lowered their heads one by one, silent, and none of them moved.
Xu Feng was also puzzled, these officials would rather disobey orders than do anything.
Although he asked someone to pass the word to Liu Ling and Situ Yu, it would not be so fast, and the two of them would be properly dealt with.
"Lord Zhao is really a royal family, I will definitely tell my family about what happened here today. β
Steward Li fanned the flames with a strange yin and yang on the side, in his opinion, this must have been secretly instructed by Zhao Qing.
The other butler suddenly became angry again, and went up shouting and slapping the servant.
Smack, smack, smack.
The slapping sound was crisp, and the faces of the officials were full of slap prints, but everyone carried out the order.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Zhao Qing finally realized that something was wrong.
Working in the powerful Hojing, these officials are all old fritters and know who can be offended and who can't be offended.
Isn't there a big force behind this Xu Feng.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, with the power of the young governor Shi and the chief of the Si Nong, he couldn't catch a teenager in the middle, and he ran to the Yamen of Hojing to complain in a time-consuming and laborious manner.
Steward Wang said coldly: "Lord Zhao is scolding. β
Zhao Qing reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "There are a lot of stewards in the king, why bother to be angry with some lowly officials, but the rules are true, before the execution, you must ask the name of the prisoner, and the origin is recorded." β
Steward Li gave Steward Wang a look and said, "Since the rules are like this, we can also question it, but the words are clear in advance, and when the question is finished, the adults will not do anything, and I will go and ask my family to come out and be reasonable." β
Steward Li also said: "That's exactly the truth. β
Seeing that the two stewards agreed, Zhao Qingchang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask questions, when a voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Who wants to torture my son-in-law of the Shang Palace?"
