Three days later, the gate of Yin Ya in the capital was quite lively. In the past, it was only ordinary people who came in and out of this place, some entered with tears on their faces, and some entered with a drum. Today is a different day.

In the past, the plaintiff waited early to be raised to the court for questioning, and the defendant was either detained and taken into custody and dragged to the court when he was questioned about the crime. But this was not the case today, and I saw the defendant riding a tall horse, with a smile on his face, as if he had not taken the complaint to heart at all. The group arrived at the gate of the yamen, and the capital government Yin and the officials stood in front of the door and greeted them in person.

"Lord Liang. Jia Yu got off his horse and bowed his hand, "Today, I, Jia, want to ask you to come and prove my innocence." ”

At this time, people come and go on the streets, and in the land of the capital, it is very common to see dignitaries and dignitaries every day. It's just that General Jia of Rongguo Mansion stood at the door of Yin Ya in the capital mansion and said something to prove his innocence, which makes people a little reverie. There are also a lot of idlers on the street, and a few of them have seen Jia Yu and Lai Dayamen arguing a few years ago. Seeing this situation, I thought that this Jia Mansion had taken a bad person to send to the yamen to convict impartially, and I couldn't help but gather around and whisper a few words. There are more and more people, and they gather at the gate of the yamen and do not leave.

"General Jia, please enter the second hall to rest first. "In this autumn weather, Lord Liang felt sweaty behind his back. How can you put such a thing on the stall. If this matter is not handled well today, I am afraid that my black yarn hat will not be able to be saved.

"Ertang?" Jia Yu smiled when he heard Lord Liang's words, "My lord's heart Jia has understood." Lord Liang also blames Jia for being troublesome, according to Jia's view, it is better for the case to be heard clearly in the lobby today. Otherwise, if Jia Mou resolves his grievances in the second hall and proves his innocence, maybe he will be thought to be protected by officials and officials, Lord Liang, you will protect me. Wouldn't this damage the reputation of adults? Jia really didn't dare. ”

These words were beautiful, but Liang Shu was really speechless. I have good intentions, these two halls are considered to be the inner government, and the trial of the second hall is not to be watched. After all, the defendant is Jia Yu of Rongguo Mansion, and the dignified first-class general was accused of robbing the treasure and killing people, whether it is a false accusation or not, it is not good to say it. As soon as the plaintiff told him about this crime in the lobby, and everyone outside the hall heard it, the reputation of this Jia Mansion would not be guaranteed. Although Rongguo Mansion has a good reputation among the four kings and eight princes in recent years, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Let's go, who doesn't let people appreciate it.

After Jia Yu finished speaking to Liang Shu, he turned around and bowed his hand to the people gathered outside the yamen. This shocked everyone, and they heard Jia Yu say: "Today, Jia was falsely accused, and he wants to confront him in front of this court to prove his innocence." Everyone knows how I am a good person. If you don't do bad things, you don't have to avoid people. Today's events, I also hope that the people of the capital can listen to the merits before commenting, don't be born with this heart of protection of officials and ruin the reputation of the government. ”

The onlookers nodded again and again. Some people also muttered in a low voice that Master Jia was so frank, but he seemed to have been wronged. Naturally, some people retorted, maybe it is just the beauty of what they say, this official protection is inevitable, don't believe it and wait to see. These words also reached Jia Yu's ears, and Jia Yu just smiled and turned around and entered the court.

Liang Shu is really helpless, although he is said to be a capital mansion Yin, but Jingzhong is an official with a thicker foundation than himself, how can this Jia Mansion be offended lightly?

This case is like a hot potato, and I naturally don't want to take it. If you don't want to pick it up, you have to push it out. Liang Shuxian tried to push the case to the Inspectorate, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate pushed it back on the grounds that it was not in accordance with the etiquette system. Then I wanted to push it to Dali Temple, but Dali Temple hid faster, and I didn't connect at all. After some tossing, this drudgery still fell on his head.

Today's case looks simple, but it is complicated on the inside. Although the plaintiff is a flat-headed commoner, he just came to "invite a car to drive", and he happened to run into Prince Yizhong, and now this prince is not on good terms with the Jia family for some reason, and when he sees this case, he naturally supports that child. Today, the defendant arrived early, and the plaintiff was late. On this side, after the prince is the prince on the other, which is not a powerful lord, only he is unlucky, caught in the middle.

After Jia Yu entered the court, Liang Shu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea and move to a seat. Jia Yu refused, saying that there was no such rule for the promotion of the court to ask the case, and he couldn't break it because of himself, so he went to the hall with his hands behind his back.

A moment later, the plaintiff also arrived, riding in the carriage of the Yizhong Palace. The child was full of filial piety, and his face was full of tears. The audience was quite embarrassed when they saw it.

Jia Yu also watched, after all, he didn't see this person last time he went to Wang Huo's house to read the words. I saw it today, and I looked like I was only eleven or twelve years old. A heavy filial piety makes people look a little pitiful. Jia Yu sighed in his heart, such a young child is also used as a chess piece in it, and this person who sets up the trap is really vicious.

The original defendant was present, and naturally he was going to start the trial and questioning. Liang Shu sat upright and patted the wood, the left and right shifts of officials were in line, Liang Shu was just about to speak, when he heard a person shouting: "Wait a moment." And when they looked back, they saw the prince of righteousness, the prince of loyalty, and the prince of loyalty.

Liang Shu saw it and hurriedly went down to the hall to give a salute: "I don't know that the three princes are here, and they have missed the welcome, so please don't blame the princes." All three waved their hands and excused themselves from salutation. Jia Yu stood on the side, and when he saw the three princes brushing together, he also felt interesting, and he also came forward to salute.

Liang Shu kept pouring out the sweat on his forehead at this time, and scolded secretly in his heart, this one prince of Jiafu is not messy enough, what is the matter with the two princes? But the resentment in his heart did not dare to leak half a point on his face, and he still said with a smile on his face: "I don't know what instructions the three princes have when they come here." ”

Prince Yizhong opened his mouth first and said, "This boy stopped my horse that day. I handed over this case to Lord Liang, and I naturally want to see it today. After speaking, he turned his face to Jia Yu and said: "General Jia, don't care, I see that this kid is really pitiful, the merits of this matter have their own Lord Liang's impartiality, this king will not interfere, and he is not here to support him today." ”

Liang Shu naturally became angry when he heard this, and he was a good person, and I will do it if you are a bad person. But he could only suppress his anger and turned to the side of the prince and asked, "Who is the prince?"

"This matter started because of Shu Suti, and I also have some fate with that word, so I came to take a look. Liang Shu nodded and looked at the prince of Zhongjing, and the prince of Zhongjing smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, I heard that they said that there was a lot of fun, so I followed." This was true, Jia Yu almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Liang Shu gritted his teeth and asked the official to move a stool and invite the three princes to sit, and when everyone was seated, Liang Shu wanted to pat the hall again, and before his hand fell, he heard Jia Yu stop.

"What's the matter with General Jia?" Liang Shu said in shock.

This was elevated, and the case was officially opened. Before the trial, I still have a few words to ask this child. ”

Liang Shu glanced at the three princes, and saw that they had no intention of hindering, so he also nodded and said, "General Jia, you ask." ”

Jia Yu looked at the child kneeling on the ground and said: "I see that you are still young, I will advise you before the trial, don't be deceived by someone who is a little bit of a fool." If you withdraw the case at this time, I will not pursue your false accusation. ”

The little boy said with a stiff neck: "How can the revenge of killing my father be so light, I dare to stop the horse on the street, and naturally I will not withdraw the case." ”

Jia Yu nodded: "When you stop the horse on the street, you can't complain about the father and son." The style of action is the same, one stops the horse to buy fake words for the treatment of the child, and the other stops the horse to falsely accuse the good man for the father, it turns out that this matter is also ancestral. ”

"Don't be complacent. That Wang Cong said angrily.

"I'm just going to ask you again whether to withdraw or not?"

"No withdrawal!"

"Well, I have some backbone. Jia Yu arched his hand from Liang Shuyi and said, "Lord Liang, I'm done asking, please continue." ”

Liang Shu's hand holding the shocking wood was a little sore at this time, slapped it heavily on the table, and said to Wang Cong: "If you have any grievances, just say it!"

"Lord Liang is slow. ”

Liang Shu was quite helpless, looking at Jia Yu but not getting angry, gritted his teeth and asked, "What else is wrong with Lord Jia?"

"Lord Liang, please forgive me, Jia just remembered something. According to the law of this dynasty, whether the civil prosecutor is punished with 20 rods first, if it is verified that it is a false accusation, he will be punished with 80 rods. I don't know if what Jia said is right?"

Liang Shu nodded, it was true. If it weren't for the fact that he saw that this child was young, he just ordered the officials to blast him out of the house, and if he had slapped him on a few boards that day, it is estimated that there would be no today.

Many people outside the lobby were quite dissatisfied when they heard Jia Yu's words, and some even shouted: "This young baby can withstand a few boards, and if the twenty boards go down, I'm afraid that even my life will be gone." ”

These words were quite loud, and Jia Yu naturally heard them, "That's right." That's why I asked Mr. Liang if he wanted to withdraw the case before he tried the case. If the case is withdrawn, there is naturally no need to go to the board. Jia Yu paused: "This kid didn't withdraw the lawsuit, but I was a little impressed." After all, if the people sue the officials, if they are being falsely accused for the sake of the officials, and everyone will lose money, they will lose the hearts of the people over time. Therefore there is this one in this law, and this law must not be disordered. ”

At this time, looking at the kid kneeling on the ground, he seemed to be a little trembling. Jia Yu sighed: "Why don't you know about this." Alas, I thought you already knew, so I didn't say it clearly. After speaking, Jia Yu took out an ingots from his sleeve, stepped forward and rested on Liang Shu's case.

Liang Shu glanced at the ingot, and then looked at Jia Yu, who was a little dumbfounded, and paused before he spoke: "General Jia, this is agree......able?

"Your Excellency misunderstood. Lord Liang is an upright official, how can I have the heart to bribe when the case is tried. The ingots were for the child's healing. If today's matter is played first, I am afraid that the child's injuries will be too serious to be tried, and I will intercede on my behalf. It is not too late to ask Lord Liang to fight when he finishes the trial. Jia pardoned for a moment, and said: "Oh, I forgot, this is a false accusation, and Shen Qing has to add eighty." Alas, this small body and bones, not to mention a hundred big boards, even ten boards, may not be able to stand it. This ingot of silver must have been used for his posthumous affairs. Alas, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. ”

Liang Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard Jia Yu's words, and then thought that Jia Yu was really not easy to offend. Look at the kneeling boy again, now he is really trembling.

"In this way, General Jia can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. I persuaded you before, and then I pleaded for you. I've never seen such a defendant go. If the child has a grievance today, just say it. If it is true, Lord Liang will make the decision for you. The loyal prince on the side opened his mouth first.
