Chapter 262 Pulling a Hair and Moving the Whole Body (11)
Three days passed in a flash, and Dali Siqing promised to try Mrs. Xu's case in front of so many people at that time, so naturally she would not be slapped in the face.
And beyond the people's plan, Emperor Kangtai didn't seem to care at all that one of the defendants in this case was his son, and asked the eunuch to come to announce the decree before he was promoted, saying that he would deal with it impartially and would not favor any party, and at the same time invited the officials who participated in the formulation, revision, and maintenance of the laws and regulations of Dali to supervise the whole process of Dali Temple, and even the respected old people in the families of several ministers in the court also set up a row of chairs behind the officials in the hall.
These old people are now recognized as noble character, fair and selfless people in the Great Qi Beijing, as soon as Emperor Kangtai made this move, no matter what this matter is so-called, the people are full of praise for Emperor Kangtai, after all, in this world where the imperial power is as great as the sky, the people sue the officials, the official corrects the power, no matter when it is a little appalling, and now Emperor Kangtai can have such an awareness, it is simply Yao Shun is alive, Ming Jun is coming, because the bad impact of the "three princes' favored concubines and wives" is not only minimized, And the support for Kantai Emperor is also unprecedented!
This case, which occurred on June 19, the 19th year of Kangtai, was later known as the "Xumen Case" in history, because this case gave rise to many scripts and operas such as "Xumen Three Complaints" and "Chunsheng Biography", and Daqi even set off a wave of suing his mother-in-law for injustice.
It was also from this incident that Emperor Kangtai knew that under the high pressure of filial piety, there were so many miserable and bad things happening, after Dafan verified that the matter was true. There are prisoners, hard laborers, serious cases, and even exile, and this is all a story for later.
said that Lan Qiduo did not go to Dali Temple to personally listen to the progress of the case on this day, and even she couldn't listen to it a few times later, because there were too many people.
How many people are there? The three layers inside and the three layers outside the three layers are all second, even the restaurant next to it is full, Dali Temple originally had people standing on the horse tether stone in front of the door, the big locust tree that has grown for decades to be hugged by two people is also hanging people, and the people who are in danger of hanging these people joining in the fun.
Those who are qualified to be allowed in to observe will also keep spreading the news inside, and the news will immediately be popularized by Mr. Storyteller almost in its original form, because there are a lot of proper words involved. There are also literate people who explain on the side. Make sure that everyone you hear the case will be clear!
Dali Temple even moved the lobby to the open space in front of the main entrance of Dali Temple for this case, the place in front of Dali Temple was originally because it was the place of punishment and prison, and few people approached it on weekdays, and it seemed very empty. Now it looks like it's congested.
Lan Ziduo only glanced at it from a distance and left. She also knew that even now she disguised herself as a man and mixed in. But this matter is very important, the people are already very curious about this matter, and public opinion is not favorable to Mrs. Xu. It can be said that many people have a contemptuous attitude towards the fact that a woman sues her father-in-law and mother-in-law in court, and what they are most curious about is that this woman even dares to sue His Majesty's son.
"Your Highness, let's go to the restaurant! Someone in the court will quickly spread the news inside. ”
"Find the closest place and see if you can see the trial."
As a result, he naturally couldn't see it, and Lan Qiduo could only hear the news coming from inside.
"That woman is amazing, she actually invited many maids and daughters-in-law of the Xu family to testify, and Lord Xu was confirmed by them regardless of the concubine, and she also drew a charge in court!"
"The strangest thing is that Mrs. Xu's concubine also knelt down and handed over the paper, saying that it was because of filial piety that she had been letting her daughter-in-law endure her mother-in-law, who would have expected that her mother-in-law would let her daughter-in-law go to set rules and stand for almost a whole day on the second day after her daughter-in-law gave birth, and as a result, the person died of blood that day!"
Even Lan Qiduo was shocked when he heard these news, not to mention the onlookers, Lan Qiduo's ears were constantly filled with words like "vicious", "cruel", "old pious woman", and "vicious".
"Your Highness, the slaves and maids feel that things are going too well, and the Xu family is also the home of the eunuchs, how dare those slaves testify against their masters?"
Lan Qiduo looked at the crowd around them sitting there stretching their necks waiting for the latest news, knocking melon seeds, eating tea and spitting, and was also puzzled in his heart: "Either they really offended the master in the Xu family and couldn't survive, and now they are just fighting to the death, or they really want to help Mrs. Xu." ”
The common people just watch the excitement, as for what other people's lives and deaths have to do with them, at most they sympathize with a few words, and then they still do what they should do, but Lan Qiduo is actually most concerned about the matter of the third prince's favorite concubine and wife.
She clearly knew that the concubine of the three princes, the father and brother of the Ming family, were really brave and good at fighting, and if she could knock out the help of the three princes, it would be equivalent to cutting off the biggest help of the three princes.
It's just that the three princes are in Huguang, and there is still some trouble in the procedure for this matter, but Dali Siqing allowed Mrs. Xu to take Princess Xian back to Beijing for the time being, and no one has any objection to this minister, the minister sitting on the side and the respected old man have no objection, this Mrs. Xu really did not leave any way back for her daughter when she sued her son-in-law in court in a paper pleading, even if the three princes and the three princesses do not get along, it will not be any better! Seeing that His Majesty's attitude is really a little subtle, they don't dare to favor anyone, and because of insufficient evidence, the matter of the three princes' favored concubines and killing their wives can only wait for Dali Siqing to send someone Huguang to bring the relevant people back for questioning! It takes 10 days to go back and forth with the fastest foot.
This case hangs there, but the case of impeachment of Li Bufan by the DPRK is becoming more and more intense, and it is faintly developing in a direction that is out of control.
These people are basically divided into three factions, one faction says that Li Bufan is innocent, Peng Tietou is falsely accused, and Li Bufan is a close confidant of His Majesty, and he has failed the emperor's grace by doing so. 、
One faction has begun to find evidence and try their best to put forward evidence to prove that Li Bufan sold his official position to enrich his personal pockets, and the most obvious thing is that there is a written note that shows that on a certain year, month, and day, Li Bufan received ten silver bills from the Four Seas Money Bank, of which six silver tickets are worth one hundred taels each, and the remaining four are five hundred taels and one denomination, and the laws of Daqi stipulate that those who accept bribes of more than 100 taels will be exiled for 3,000 li; Those who accept bribes of more than 1,000 taels shall be sentenced to immediate punishment and confiscate all family property; If he accepted bribes of more than 3,000 taels, the bribe-taking officials were immediately sentenced and his family was exiled. The bribe blade has now admitted that he paid bribes, and now Li Bufan has accepted bribes of 2,600 taels, where did all this money go and what is it used for? Because Li Bufan is thrifty and doesn't like luxury, everyone is curious about what he uses the money! Before waiting for Li Bufan's arrival, the two factions had been fighting with each other.
There is also a faction that remains neutral and only does what it does well, but when Lan Qiduo heard the news, he felt that the third faction was afraid that it was not neutral, because they seemed to be guiding Li Bufan's bribes and money in one direction, that is, the Three Princes! Those who perceived the mystery simply joined Peng Tietou's column!
In this high-profile situation, Fang Ziying's matter came down quietly, and Fang Ziying's death crime could not be escaped, and he was directly exiled to the barren land at the most border in the northwest.
Lan Qiduo also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, I have to say that Fang Ziying's luck is not bad, he was reported to be a man at this juncture, if it was the old guys of the Zongren Mansion on weekdays, where could they easily expose it like this. (To be continued.) )
