Some people say that three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; The third generation did evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhou Yan felt that he must have done many evil things in his previous life, so God punished him for being Shuntian Mansion Yin in this life. On the surface, he is the parent official of the capital, but in fact, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who is as powerful as a dog, he is as aggrieved as the prefect is.

The shopkeeper of any shop on the street, Zhou Yan didn't dare to offend easily, because behind that person was most likely a powerful nobleman and eunuch.

There are also those cockfighting lackeys and arrogant gentlemen, who are making trouble all day long, but none of them are those that Zhou Yan dares to rectify casually.

Fortunately, there is still a royal history in the capital, and the sage is not a faint monarch, Zhou Yan has only stumbled for five years in the appointment of Shuntian Mansion Yin.

But in recent months, there have been frequent incidents in the capital.

Don't mention things like the prince forcing the palace, Zhou Yanren is soft-spoken, and he can't influence it at all. There is no right to beak.

It is similar to the assassination of Zhao's commander in the capital, the inexplicable explosion of private houses and other incidents involving public security and other issues in the capital, but Zhou Yan is inseparable.

For the sake of these two cases, Zhou Yan was not down-to-earth during the New Year.

Fortunately, these two cases were finally taken over by Jin Yiwei, and after Zhou Yan handed over all the files, Fang breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's just that before he could put his mind at ease, another 'strange case' broke out in the capital.

"Ah~~"

Zhou Yan was dressed in regular clothes, sitting in the courtyard of the back office, looking at the pomegranate trees that sprouted in a daze.

"Master, why are you sighing? But what's wrong with the future? ”

Zhou Yan's wife came over with a tray, handed him a cup of tea, sat across from him, and asked with concern.

"What else can it be for? Lord Yang returned to Beijing with an imperial history, and as soon as he entered the city gate, someone stopped him and complained. ”

Zhou Yan was bored and was trying to find someone to talk to. His wife is also knowledgeable, and he also wants to hear his wife's opinion.

So, he told him about Yang Jiye's encounter with a maidservant who sued him on the street.

Then he sighed: "Lord Yang is a 'rule-abiding' person, and he instructed the little guy who was waiting for pen and ink next to him to write a paper for the maid, and then sent the paper to Shuntian Mansion together with the maid. ”

Zhou's wife asked calmly: "The master accepted this case?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled bitterly, "Yang Jiye sent the plaintiff here with great fanfare, how can I not accept it?" ”

The capital is under the rule of Zhou Yan, and the people of the capital have grievances, not to mention coming to Shuntianfu to beat the drum, but running to the street to intercept the imperial history, which in itself is a question of the Shuntianfu Yamen and his Zhou Yan Zhou Mansion Yin.

Thanks to Yang Jiye's kindness, if he changes the imperial history, maybe he will impeach Zhou Yan for dereliction of duty first.

Yang Jiye didn't join him, but Zhou Yan understood his situation in his heart. I could only take the case without saying a word, and said that I would handle it impartially.

"So, the old man ordered someone to arrest Qu Jincai? And seized his house? ”

Zhou's wife pondered for a moment and asked slowly.

"There's no way, this matter has already started, I can only do things according to the rules." Zhou Yan said extremely depressed.

"Didn't you do the right thing, sir?" Zhou's wife pretended to be puzzled and said, "You are the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and the people under your rule have grievances, so you will arrest the defendant in accordance with the provisions of the Great Qi Law, search for evidence, everything is reasonable and legal." Why bother? ”

Zhou Yan knows his wife's personality very well, so he naturally doesn't think that his wife really doesn't understand the doorway.

When my wife said this, she must mean something.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything, and re-sorted out the whole case again.

Seeing this, Zhou's wife said again: "I know what the master is worried about. Qu Jincai is just a little minion, and the Qi family behind him is the main one. Master, you know this truth, the concubine knows it, and the one probably knows it. ”

Zhou's wife deliberately stretched out her index finger and pointed upward.

Zhou Yan's pupils shrank, and he immediately sighed: "Madam is right, otherwise I wouldn't be so embarrassed." ”

Qu Jincai and the Qi family are not problems, what really makes Zhou Yan jealous is the attitude of the saint and the prince.

Spying on the privacy of hundreds of officials, and then coercing and controlling hundreds of officials, what a horrific act, let alone a saint, even Zhou Yan can't tolerate it.

But the problem is that the maidservants of the Qu family sued on the street, Yang Jiye pushed people to Shuntian Mansion, and Zhou Yan ordered the messengers to arrest people, and the whole thing has passed for several days, but there is no movement in the palace.

Zhou Yancai did not believe that the saint had not yet known about it. Jinyi Wei is not an ornament.

The saint knew about it, but he didn't react at all. That's a little out of order.

The saint is the most powerful and resolute person, and will never tolerate the courtiers to raise spies and dead soldiers without permission.

But why is it so abnormal in the affairs of the Qi family?!

Could it be that the saint has other plans?

The more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was tricky, and he didn't know how to try it at all. In desperation, I had to come up with a 'drag' trick.

Zhou's wife thought quietly for a long time, and then smiled and said, "Master, why are you embarrassed?" Again, when the people come to complain, you will try it according to the rules. ”

Zhou Yan was puzzled, "But the Qi family-"

Zhou's wife deliberately asked, "Qi family?" What does this have to do with the Qi family? Didn't the defendant Qu Jincai? ”

Zhou Yan seemed to understand a little, but still asked: "The relationship between Qu Jincai and the Qi family-" is placed there, and people with brains will know who the real defendant is.

Zhou's wife smiled brighter and brighter, "Qu Jincai used to be an old servant of the Qi family, but now he is a good citizen, at least in the household registration book of Shuntian Mansion, he has nothing to do with the Qi family." ”

Zhou Yan looked at his wife fixedly, for a long time, he couldn't help but smile, and slapped the stone table hard, "That's right, just do it." ”

The sage didn't say anything, and the Qi family was not in a hurry, but instead roasted him Zhou Yan and an outsider on the fire, which was too much to bully an honest man.

Under the reminder of his wife, Zhou Yan, an honest man, decided to continue to be 'honest'.

No matter what kind of stand-in or master, he doesn't speculate about any conspiracy and tricks, he recognizes one thing: judging the case according to the law.

As for the follow-up reaction, it has nothing to do with him.

The next day, Zhou Yan went to the court to greet him, and according to the procedure, the plaintiff was invited first, and then the defendant was brought from the prison.

In the lobby, the plaintiff cried and denounced, and the defendant refuted and explained.

Zhou Yan was shocked, and ordered the servants to go separately to several 'tea rooms' and 'wine shops' under Qu Jincai's name to investigate. As a result, the female spy mentioned by the plaintiff was not found.

And the Qu family was searched three feet into the ground, and the so-called 'secret files of hundreds of officials' and 'blackmail lists' were not found.

There was no evidence, so Zhou Yan sentenced the servant girl to make false accusations according to the law, and the slave's accusation against the master was a 'great rebellion', and the false accusation was a crime of one degree, and it should be punished with capital punishment, and it would not be pardoned.

The defendant, Qu Jincai, was acquitted and released on the spot.

Zhou Yan finished adjudicating the case cleanly, and waited anxiously for the announcement of the palace or the impeachment of the imperial history of the court.

As a result, he waited for several days, but there was no news at all, and the case that he had been distressed for more than half a month was like a pebble falling into the sea, and there was no other reaction except for a few ripples......
