Luojing's largest teahouse, "Star Picking Tower", has already passed the peak season of midsummer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info as usual, following the "prodigy said" and "the prodigy said", the business should be silent for a while. This has been the case every year in the past.

This Chung Yeung Festival is different. The "Star Picking Building" was full.

Sitting here are all people who can't squeeze in the noon gate. Unable to be there in person, they drank tea here and waited for first-hand news.

The storyteller on the stage spat and flew: "The person who beat the drum in the morning is Feng Taijun's personal maid......"

The fiery secret news made the people in the capital panic. up to the court's honorable ministers, down to the folk peddlers and pawns.

Rumors first said that Feng Lao Taijun of the Anping Marquis Mansion plotted to kill her husband, and a few days later, the Dengwen drum outside the noon gate was beaten by a maid. Both were earth-shattering events.

Mrs. Feng is none other than the daughter of the Feng family in Wuzhou. The Feng family has protégés all over the Jiangnan area, and the Feng family has been the head of the Jiangnan Academy for several generations. "The world's scholars, half out of the south of the Yangtze River" is true. Many champions went to the Feng family, and they all bowed their heads and called the old lady of the Feng family "teacher".

If the daughters of the Feng family murdered their husbands, Mr. Feng was afraid that he would cut himself off from the world, and the Confucian students in Jiangnan would also lose face.

On the other hand, the maid beat the drum not to shout grievances for the master, but to sue Dali Temple.

Dali Temple, an important official office of Dafeng Court, is called the "Three Law Divisions" together with the Criminal Department and the Imperial History Terrace. A little maid dared to go against the entire Dali Temple, which was really a sign of courage from the sky.

The most amazing thing is that the emperor actually asked people to accept the complaint, and quickly ordered the criminal department Shangshu, Yushi Dafu, and Shangshu to order the adults to be tried in three halls. Oh, not only the three halls, but also the Yuan Wang Ye of the clan camp.

The direction of the wind in the capital is really incomprehensible.

There is a reason why the drums are scheduled to be beaten on the ninth day of September. For Fu Manyan, this battle can only be won and not lost, and she must be fully prepared, so she has to let her grandmother stay in prison for two more days.

This day is the Chung Yeung Festival, and there has always been a custom of climbing high and looking far. The people who were about to plant dogwoods and admire the chrysanthemums were alarmed by the deafening sound of drums. At noon, waves of people heard the wind, and there was a sea of people outside the noon gate.

"Might---might-" The officials on both sides shouted like thunder. Dali Siqing Qian Guangguang moved his buttocks, he couldn't figure out how this unwarranted disaster was recruited.

On the three-foot high platform, almost all of the people sitting upright are first-class adults, except for Yuan Wangye, who is a little special.

Under the three-foot high platform, it was surrounded by people, including those from Luojing and those from other cities.

Zheng Ruling, the imperial historian, found many acquaintances from the audience. Mr. Feng, who stayed at home, and Miss Fu Jiasan, looked haggard, and a pair of cold eyes burst out with a terrifying light. The third lady must have been hit hard, otherwise she wouldn't have laughed at all.

With a shocking sound, he pulled back Lord Zheng's thoughts.

Among the three halls, the official position should have been headed by Shang Shuling, but with Yuan Wangye there, several people pushed the boat down the river to let Yuan Wangye sit in the position of chief judge.

Yuan Wang Ye is still the indifferent appearance that is unparalleled in the world. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started. Bring the drum-beater. ”

Chunxi looked at the third lady under the stand, and Fu Manyan nodded.

Chunxi browsed the high platform again. This is the place where the Autumn Queen asks for a beheading, and if she fails, she will be splattered with blood on the spot.

However, she is not afraid. In the past, Sister Qiu Yue blocked the disaster for them, and now, let her block Sister Qiu Yue once.

Thinking of this, she added a lot of pride to her chest. That face is resolute and fearless, and in the eyes of everyone, it is a gesture of generosity to death.

Someone in the audience muttered: Why is this girl not afraid of death.

Mr. Feng secretly felt that the girls of their Feng family also knew what it meant to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and what it meant to be brave and fearless.

At home, follow the father, marry the husband. After Feng Yuan got married, the Feng family rarely asked about the affairs of the Marquis of Anping, but this time, he dragged his old and weak body and ran to Luojing in person. He didn't believe that the girl raised by the Feng family would do such a hurtful thing.

Seeing this girl, he was relieved.

Twenty sticks landed firmly on Chunxi's buttocks and thighs. Chunxi screamed a few times from time to time. The third lady said that don't endure it during the execution, and shout out when it hurts.

After the twenty canes, Chunxi collapsed to the ground, looking at the Yuan Wang Ye in the middle in a daze.

Qian Fangzhao sat on the right side of the high platform, his face sad. This woman doesn't know him at all, why can't she get along with Dali Temple.

Yuan Wang Ye sat like a clock. "If you have any grievances, tell me in detail."

Chunxi endured the pain and said word by word: "The slave has no grievances, the slave and the maid are crying out for the people of the world." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was earth-shattering.

The audience was boiling, and the audience was inexplicably surprised. Qian Fang looked at Mei Shangshu, and Mei Shangshu was also puzzled. This girl, why don't you argue for Mrs. Feng?

"How do you cry out for the people of the world?"

"The slave sued Dali Temple for three crimes. First, the corpse of Dali Temple is vegetarian, and he does not seek politics in his position, which is a crime of dereliction of duty; Second, Dali Temple regards human life as a mustard and oppresses the good people, which is the crime of bullying the people; Third, Dali Temple accepts bribes and looks at the money to do things, which is the crime of defrauding the king. ”

The pot exploded on and off the stage. Mei Shangshu frowned, what a powerful girl, what a sharp mouth. Can Dali Temple not have these things, and which yamen does not have these things?

But this is a public trial, the people of the world are watching with their eyes open, and the members of the three halls are listening attentively, these three are real serious crimes.

"What credentials do you have?"

Spring is getting better, and the firepower is in full swing. "Slaves and maids have evidence. Two people died in the Anping Hou Mansion last month, one was named Fu Yun, a young lady in the Fu family; One is called Goldfish, the maid in the house. The day after the body was carried away, the people from Dali Temple came to the house and said that the case was suspenseful and should be done by ghosts and gods. This is how the officials of Dali Temple decided the case, and if they couldn't find out the case, they pushed it on the heads of the ghosts and gods. This is dereliction of duty. ”

The people in the house listened to the official's statement and went to Dali Temple to carry the body, but Fu Yun's body was in Dali Temple, but the body of the goldfish was thrown in Yizhuang outside the southern city. The so-called Yizhuang is actually a wilderness, and there is no one to take care of it. Dali Temple's behavior, isn't it just that the poor love the rich? Even the dead have to be treated differently. The slave and maid did not know how many ownerless corpses there were in Yizhuang, and the slave and maid only knew that the people were grief-stricken when they lost their relatives, and they were counting on Dali Temple to give their dead relatives justice. However, Dali Temple treats these corpses like this, treats the people like this, dare to ask where justice is? This is bullying. ”

Qian Fangzhao listened to it with sweat like rain. The people fell into anger and pushed the officials who guarded the stage on the stage.

The crowd was about to stir. Yuan Wang Ye slapped the shocked wood and said: "The audience is quiet, this king will judge this case on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he will be fair and clear." ”

The atmosphere eased down, and Prince Yuan looked at the kneeling man with deep eyes, and ordered, "You continue." ”

After the slave and maid finished speaking, she asked the lord to order a search immediately. Because there will be physical evidence involved, if you go late, I'm afraid there will be no more. ”

Yuan Wang Ye narrowed his eyes, this maid still dared to command him. It's funny, it's funny.

"This king knows it. You said. ”

"Mrs. Feng of the Marquis of Anping Mansion is the lady of the Sanpin Command, according to the law, even if there is a real suspicion, he will wait until he is summoned and stand in Dali Temple for trial. But Dali Temple didn't care about right and wrong, blindly listened to the rumors in Beijing, and went directly to the house to take the old lady away and go to prison. ”

Chunxi's voice suddenly increased by three points, and the audience could hear it clearly.

"The reason why Dali Temple dares to disobey the rules is because someone in Dali Temple received the silver from the second room of the Fu family. In order to avoid leakage of information, the slave and maid have written their names on a piece of paper and asked the adults to look at them. ”

Yuan Wang Ye took the note and looked at Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Can you borrow some people from Li Shangshu?" ”

Li Renqing waved his hand, and a guard leader stepped forward, took the note, and led the soldiers and horses.

Qian Fangzhao couldn't sit still even more, and his buttocks moved left and right on the chair.

"Lord Qian is not feeling well? Or ......"

After a pause, Yuan Wang Ye put away Fang Cai's concern, and said with cold eyes: "This king almost forgot that Lord Qian is Dali Siqing." What is the connection between Mo and this case? Someone came, took the token, went to Lord Qian's mansion to search and search, and searched carefully. ”

Qian Fang jumped up from the chair as if his butt was on fire, was it him in the note?

Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief, she did it, she did it. She fulfilled the entrustment of the third lady.

Seeing her face full of tears, Yuan Wang Ye looked at her more carefully. This girl, now knowing that she is afraid, cries like this. But she was right, even if the old lady really murdered her husband, she would be tried standing up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a case within a case. Everything she said just now needs to be verified one by one. It's just that Mrs. Feng is still in prison, which is indeed inconsistent with the system. In my opinion, let's invite the old lady out first. ”

Mei Shangshu looked left and right, nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Qian Fangzhao hurriedly turned around and ordered the people behind him: "Don't go and invite the old lady out quickly." Just go. ”

Mrs. Feng only stayed in prison for three nights, old and haggard, looking like a candle in her last years.

"Old lady." Chunxi wanted to climb towards the old lady, but the short distance was like thousands of rivers and mountains.

Seeing that the old lady couldn't stand, Yuan Wang Ye said, "Give me a seat." ”

Chunxi couldn't help but cast a grateful look.

Mei Shangshu, who was silent for a long time, said: "You girl, you are so cunning. It is clear that it is a slave to sue the master, but the drum is said to be sued by Dali Temple. Who taught you? ”

Li Renqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, touched his chin. Several other adults also touched the deep meaning of Shang Shuling's words. (To be continued.) )
