Song Yi asked her her name, place of origin, and family population in accordance with the rules, and then said, "Who wrote this statement?"

"It was written by the local food chief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhang Zhaohua replied truthfully: "The grain chief is a jinshi from the previous dynasty to the Zheng period. ”

"The essence of strange rhetoric is brilliant. Song Yi praised it, and said, "You female doll, you don't know the truth of strict law." Let me also tell you that the lawsuit must be carried out step by step, and you must first file a lawsuit with the yamen of the prefecture or county under your jurisdiction, and only then will you be allowed to appeal to the prefect's yamen. It is strictly forbidden to transgress litigation and to handle cases across counties, and all those who transgress litigation and the officials who accept transgression of litigation must be punished. ”

"I see that the date written on this statement was only sent 14 days ago," Song Yi said: "What is the reason why you did not go to deliver the yamen of your county, but came to respond to the complaint of the Tianfu yamen?"

"Your Excellency. Zhang Zhaohua said: "It's not that the little girl is suing, but the county is in the middle of a deadline, and the county posted a notice saying that the trial will stop from the seventh day of May to the third day of July. ”

At this time, there was a "time limit" for the acceptance of civil lawsuits, and local officials would stop hearing cases for a certain period of time in the spring and summer every year, with the intention of not affecting the busy agricultural season, except for major cases.

But Zhang Zhaohua voted on the sixth day of the first month, and it was a limit to post the list on the seventh day of the first month - no matter how you look at it, the time is a bit too coincidental.

Song Yi naturally heard the words, and he frowned and said, "You mean to accuse, you mean that the state and county and the provincial capital Yin dare not handle the case—is that so?"

"The folk girl didn't dare. Zhang Zhaohua bowed his head and said: "This matter involves a huge amount of money, and my parents and officials in my province are really embarrassed." If you try your best to handle the case, even if your public office is great, you will not be able to resist the power of heaven, and if you turn a blind eye, you will take the oath of making a life for the people. Between the two dilemmas, it is not only against the constitution, but also against the original intention. The women did not dare to embarrass their parents. ”

"It is not only against the constitution, but also against the original intention. Song Yi chewed on this sentence carefully and said in surprise: "You female doll is actually a person who has read books." ”

Zhang Zhaohua acquiesced.

"Since you have read the book," Song Yi suddenly asked, "Do you know the word loyalty and filial piety?"

"Nature knows. Zhang Zhaohua said.

"The king of Zhou ruled Henan, soothed the people, persuaded farming, and served the conquest to resist foreign insults," Song Yi touched his gray beard and said: "Regard the people as sons, and the good name is far and wide, and the people of Henan should regard them as their fathers." Isn't it unfilial for you to sue your father with your son?"

"Do you know," he continued, "that there is no king under the whole world, and no king is the prince on the shore of the land." Isn't it disloyal for you to accuse the emperor?"

"My lord's words are wrong!" Zhang Zhaohua really couldn't bear it, so he said sharply: "Loyalty and filial piety, even if I am a three-year-old child, I can also know that I am loyal, Your Majesty, and King Zhou is not the emperor, but also His Majesty's courtier, how can he be treated equally!"

"The one who is filial to me is also my biological parents," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Now my father is in prison, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead; my mother is worried and frightened, and she is sick and sick, who is the one who separates my family's flesh and blood, and it is the palace of the king of Zhou! As a child, I can't save my parents in case, every time I think about it, it hurts in my heart! Today, I don't avoid the knife and axe, and I come to the court to sue as a weak woman, putting aside all face, just to restore the innocence of my father and brother, and I hope that the adults will see it and be filial to me!"

After Zhang Zhaohua said this, he lay on the ground and cried.

The three people in the hall were all very surprised, and looked at each other for a long time, and the general judge gently patted the public case and sighed: "Gu Youtiying saved his father, but I didn't expect to be able to see with my own eyes today that there is a person as pure and filial piety as Tiying!"

Song Yi, who said this, also nodded again and again, then made her get up, and said with a pleasant face: "The female doll's filial piety is commendable, and her filial piety is commendable." ”

He picked it up and read it twice, and asked Zhang Zhaohua some questions. However, when Zhang Zhaohua finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and stopped talking.

Zhang Zhaohua didn't know what he meant, and he didn't dare to ask, but the general judge next to him sighed and explained: "Zhang, your case is actually in a hurry. ”

"Why?" Zhang Zhaohua said in surprise, if she wasn't in a hurry, how could she feel that the Jingshi was coming to sue all the way in the starry night, wasn't she afraid that everything would be closed when it was too late. It's a matter of human life.

"You don't know," the verdict said, "Five years ago, a similar case broke out in Qidi. ”

"The king of Qi forcibly abducted the good women of two local families," he said: "The parents of the parties have also sued the official, and it happened that the political envoy of Shandong Bu had a gap with the king of Qi, so he came to the door with a tolerance to ask for it, but the king of Qi did not admit it, and the two sides attacked endlessly. ”

After that, the king of Qi asked the political envoy to search and count the population, and he was puzzled that the palace really did not find the two women from good families. After that, the king of Qi immediately wrote to impeach the political envoy - after all, the political envoy raided the palace and trampled on the dignity of the imperial nobles, and the king of Qi insisted that the crime was unwarranted, so the political envoy was beheaded by the emperor, and no one escaped, even with the officials who broke into the palace.

"Those two women," Zhang Zhaohua said in a trembling voice, "where are they?"

"If you don't press it tightly," Song Yi said, "There is still the possibility of living, and it will not be a miserable death." ”

Zhang Zhaohua got it.

In the ancient case of corpse fragmentation, King Qi boasted that he had done it seamlessly, but those who had been in contact with the criminal name for a long time, like Song Yi and this general judgment and this scribe, they could restore the process of the case and the method of killing.

As soon as he thought that the situation they said was likely to appear on Zhang Qi and Zhang Sheng, Zhang Zhaohua's blood surged, his head buzzed for a while, and his eyes turned black.

"Actually, King Zhou is in Beijing now," Song Yi said, "It's just that you don't have a chance to see it." I'm a fellow with him—"

Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly kowtowed, kowtowed seven or eight heads, and only said: "Adults save me, adults save me!"

"This mansion has the heart to help you," Song Yi sighed: "It would be good if I didn't be this Beijing official." Beijing officials were not allowed to have private contacts with foreign vassal kings, and there was a suspicion of collusion and conspiracy. If I find him today, tomorrow the brocade guard will lock me up, and Fu Yin's black gauze hat will be a small matter, and the head on the neck will not be a big matter. ”

"My lord," said the scribe, "you can hand it over to the Zongren Mansion." ”

"You are young, but how can you be more confused than me," Song Yi shook his head and said: "Zongren Mansion, with Qin Wangfan as the Zongren Order, King Jin and Yan Wangdi as the left and right Zongzheng, Zhou Wanglu and Chu Wangzhen as the left and right Zongren." The three kings of Qin, Jin, and Chu themselves did ridiculous things that are even more outrageous than this, and you still expect them to uphold justice? King Zhou is the party concerned, and King Yan is far away in Beiping, who can accept this case?"

After that, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't hear clearly, and the originally small buzzing sound in her ears gradually became noisy, overwhelming, her neck was crooked, and she involuntarily crawled on the ground.
